The athletes compete at events throughout the United States and the world. Consequently, at the end of each season a US Nation Champion is crowned, as well as a World Champion. The Stihl Timbersports Series has developed an extensive fan base and can even be viewed on ESPN2.

Although the events are not part of the Championship competition, the Stihl Timbersports Series also gives out awards for climbing and running events. In a timed event, climbers race to the top of a pole and back down again. Boom run, also timed, consists of runners scrambling along the tops of logs that are floating in water. The object is to get from one platform to the next as quickly as possible.

The Stihl Timbersports Series has a bright future ahead of it, due in part to its rigorous initiatives to encourage youth to get involved in the sport. These initiatives culminated in the Stihl Timbersports Collegiate Series. In the Collegiate Series, student athletes compete for a national championship title, scholarship money, and a spot on the professional tour.
