Welcome to the Wild&Co team rankings

Welcome to the Wild&Co Team Rankings — a living scoreboard that celebrates the teams who line up, dig deep, and keep coming back. It’s not just about winning (though we’ll absolutely celebrate that); it’s about participation, resilience, and the long-haul teams who build the sport year after year.

We’ll update the rankings twice each year: once at the mid-point of the year, and again at the end of the year, as results are processed and the story keeps growing.

To appear on the leaderboard, teams need a minimum of two races in the ranking period (or across all time, depending on the list). This keeps the board focused on teams who are actively part of the series — not just a one-off result.

A quick note: these rankings are intentionally simple right now and will evolve over time as we add more history, events, and polish. We’re confident the results are solid — but if something looks off, please be patient and let us know. We’ll review it as part of the next update.

The vision

These rankings exist to:

Celebrate the winners and the everyday legends who keep turning up
Recognise the toughness and resilience that adventure racing builds
Strengthen community by highlighting teams racing across multiple events
Reward consistency and commitment — not just one big result

Our system is intentionally built so a strong mid-pack finish still matters. You don’t need podiums to climb the rankings — you need seasons of showing up.

Celebrating 10 years

We’ve been running races for over 10 years, but events like Hells Bells and GeoQuest have nearly 25 years of history behind them. Pulling together complete historical data is a big job, so for now we’ve focused on the events we’ve been directly running under Wild&Co. These rankings are based on Wild&Co events as part of celebrating 10+ years of racing and building the Australian adventure racing community. It’s a work in progress and will continue to expand as more history and results are processed.

How points work

A team’s score comes from two ingredients:

Base points (earned from overall placing)
Race multiplier (based on race tier and whether you raced Full or Half course)

Total points = Base points × Race multiplier
(And if you’re using status points: Finished/DNF/DNS as below.)

Points table (base points by overall position)

Pos	Pts	Pos	Pts	Pos	Pts
1	1000	18	305	35	142
2	880	19	290	36	136
3	780	20	275	37	130
4	700	21	260	38	124
5	640	22	248	39	118
6	590	23	236	40	114
7	550	24	224	41	110
8	520	25	212	42	108
9	490	26	204	43	106
10	460	27	196	44	104
11	440	28	188	45	102
12	420	29	180	46	101
13	400	30	172	47	100
14	380	31	166	48	100
15	360	32	160	49	100
16	340	33	154	50	100
17	320	34	148

Positions 47–50 all score 100 base points.

Wild&Co race multipliers

Race tier	Full course	Half course
Tier 1 — Expedition / 48 Hour	1.00×	0.75×
Tier 2 — 24 Hour	0.75×	0.50×
Tier 3 — Explore	0.50×	0.25×

Why these tiers? Explore races rate well because they’re the heartbeat of the community. At the top end, expedition racing is the pinnacle — with the biggest adventure, the highest demands, and the deepest teamwork.

Status base points (for comms clarity)

Finished → base points by place (from the table above)
DNF → 50 points (before multiplier)
DNS → 0 points

Team identity (how we treat team names)

These rankings are tracked by team identity, not a fixed roster.

No limit on team members over time. Teams evolve — people come and go — and that’s part of the sport. As long as there’s a clear sense of connection or identity (for example, a key person or pair who anchors the team and brings others in), we treat it as the same team.
Pairs and 4-person teams are included. Teams can race as 2-person or 4-person, and can move between categories across events.
Participation-first by design. This system is built to celebrate showing up, consistency, and community. If we build an “elite-focused” layer in future, it will sit alongside this — not replace it.

Understanding the ranking lists

You’ll see four different ranking views, designed to highlight both current form and long-term commitment:

1) Team Rankings — CURRENT (2 years) Best 5 results

This is our best snapshot of current teams. It rewards consistency across a season or two, without requiring you to race everything.

→ CURRENT RANKINGS BEST 5 RESULTS

2) Team Rankings — Current (2 years) All results

Same two-year window, but includes every result — great for teams doing lots of racing and building momentum.

→ CURRENT RANKINGS ALL RESULTS

3) Team Rankings — All time Best 10 results

This is the long-haul list — it celebrates teams who’ve been part of the community for years. The “best 10” format keeps it fair across eras while still rewarding sustained performance.
