The Leaderboard 🥇

A season-long points competition that follows our athletes across all five Summer Series stops: Waukee, Des Moines, Valley View, Omaha and Johnston Champs.

This year, your lowest score automatically drops, even if that score comes from Johnston Champs.

⭐️Johnston Champs will still carry more weight when it comes to points.

After racing wraps at Johnston Champs, we’ll celebrate the top 5 Leaderboard athletes in each category + gender.
