About the North Central Ninja Series
We are striving to promote local athletes in the region (IA, MN, WI, NE, SD & ND) by providing a competition exclusive to residents of those states. Our different brackets allow you a more accurate placement in the region!

SEASON 4 will have ~$10,000 in total series prizes! As part of this prize money, each Qualifier gym will be giving away $700+ in prizes and/or cash at each qualifier. (Each gym owner may decide how to allocate prizes.)

All you need to do is compete in one of our qualifiers this season to see if you have what it takes to make it to the finals! The NCNS Finals will be in November at Ninjas United in Maplegrove, MN. The finals event will have prizes and money. We want to crown the Regional Champions!

- Youth 12+ will be allowed to compete in the adult pro course, against adult pro athletes.
- Prizes will only be awarded based off overall performance in the pro bracket (top 3). 
- There is no changing brackets. Athletes either start and finish in their age bracket or start and finish in the pro bracket.

Masters 40+ may contain 'pro' athletes.

Everyone must use hand sanitizer when entering the building. Liquid chalk is recommended for competitor use due to its high alcohol content for sanitizing. We will be selling small bottles of liquid chalk for $6 or large bottles for $18.

A course walk-through will be sent out the night before via email.  Competitors may ask any last minute questions right before they run.
