Ninja Course Racing

Ninja is the sport launched by the global phenomenon of Ninja Warrior TV shows. Popular shows in the series include American Ninja Warrior, Australian Ninja Warrior and Sasuke.

In ninja, competitors compete as individuals or teams to run across an obstacle course in the fastest time possible. Courses range in length between 25m and 200m and include four or more ninja-style obstacles. If a competitor falls off the course, usually from failing an obstacle, the timer is stopped and their run ends.

The Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association (UNAA) is the official global league for ninja competitions, as recognised by NZOSA and World Obstacle.
