State Games Ninja Warrior Competition
Be part of history by competing in the first ever Iowa Games Ninja Warrior Competition! This event is hosted by Ninja U in Cedar Falls and sanctioned by UNAA. It will be on Sunday, July 7th, 2019. Allowed age range is 6 years old on up - based on your age as of August 1, 2018. Athletes won’t know exactly what the course will be until the day of the event. The course is designed by Ninja U course designers and veteran athletes in line with the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association (UNAA) for the best ninja experience possible.
Important Details
- Not From Iowa? No problem! If your state does not offer State Games or doesn't include ninja as a sport, you can compete at ours and still move on to Nationals!
- The competition acts as a 2021 State Games of America Qualifying Event! Everyone who competes moves on to compete at Nationals! Next year on they will only take top 3 in each class! Get in and go to nationals this year!
- Each contestant will get to run a course with 10-15 obstacles. One retry is available if an obstacle is failed, and each obstacle you complete gives you one point. The retry also counts as a point and acts as a bonus point if not needed. Whoever gets the most points in the fastest time wins!
- The competition will follow Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association (UNAA) rules and age/classes based on your age as of August 1, 2018.
- Open gym is available for anyone who wants to try the obstacles before the competition
