Little 500 Spring Series

April 11, 2026

The Little 500 is more than just two days of racing. In the weeks leading up to the races each year, teams compete in the Spring Series, a set of events that includes Individual Time Trials, Miss-N-Out and Team Pursuit. Together, these events test speed, strategy and teamwork, often revealing the strongest teams in the field before the Little 500 races themselves.
