The Sparrow Racing League is hosted by [[Amanda Holliday]]. True to its name, the event involves [[Guardian]]s racing each other on their [[Sparrow]]s for fame and glory.<ref name="GI"/> SRL gives Guardians a chance to demonstrate their racing skills and earn a place among past SRL champions like [[Marcus Ren]], [[Cron-8]], and [[Tyla Sola]]. Other well known SRL racers include [[Ariadne Gris]], Blue [[Boaz]], and [[Enoch Bast]]. During [[Crimson Days]], the Crimson Cup is held. The first Crimson Cup after the liberation of the [[The Last City|Last City]] from the [[Red Legion]] saw Enoch Bast defeat defending champion Marcus Ren in a upset victory.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/2/14)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Undefeated]]''</ref>

Up to six players compete on four specially-designed maps. Races consist of three laps across a map, throughout which players must survive various obstacles including [[Web Mine]]s, enemy attacks, and each other while passing through gates to boost their maximum speed. The first player to reach the finish line at the end of the third lap wins the race. Rewards are randomized, but the quality of the rewards increases with the player's SRL rank. Winning races and other skill-related accomplishments are required to complete certain SRL [[bounties]].<ref name="GI"/>

Any type of sparrow available can be used in the race, with certain sparrow archetypes having certain advantages over others. Sparrows from both the [[Crota's End]] and the [[Vault of Glass]] raids give players the ability to speed boost outside of the booster gates, at the risk of overheating and exploding if done for too long. Trick sparrows can be used to recharge thruster energy, which can help with making quick lateral movements.

During races, players can don a unique set of armor designed for Sparrow racing. This armor provides unique Sparrow-related abilities, such as allowing the player to control the speed of their descent through the air or reducing the time it takes to summon a Sparrow. Helmets and class items earned from SRL can drop with up to 320 Defense, but Chests, Gauntlets, and Boots have 3 Defense.

Similar to the [[Festival of the Lost]]'s masks, one reward from the event is purely cosmetic: Sparrow Horns. Rare Horns will expire at the end of the event and be removed from the player's inventory, but Legendary Horns are permanent; Rare Horns can be upgraded into Legendary Horns using an event-exclusive material called a Horn Relay.
