Course Run + Skills
Ninjas will have their abilities tested on an exciting course testing their speed, strength and endurance.​
During the course run, one point is scored for each obstacle that is successfully cleared within the time limit. If you fail an obstacle your run is not over, you simply move on to the next obstacle and keep going. This gives every ninja the opportunity to do their best within the time limit. In addition to the course run, ninjas will be challenged with a variety of skill stations testing all aspects of ninja!
Registration is open! Registration is limited to 90 athletes per day. Once we reach our maximum capacity, registration will close. If your age division is full please email to join the waitlist and we will contact you as soon as a spot becomes available.

Frequently asked questions
Are spectators allowed?
Spectators are absolutely allowed, and cheering on the Ninjas is strongly encouraged!
All registrations include 1 complimentary spectator ticket. Additional spectator tickets are available for just $5 and are good for the whole weekend.
For your safety, spectators are asked to keep off the bouldering mats and ninja course.
What obstacles will be on the course? How should I prepare?
Be ready for everything! Practice generating swing, campusing, foot dexterity, agility, endurance, and precise technical moves. Each obstacle will test a different aspect of Ninja. We have also designed some new obstacles which will be debuted at the event. There will be an in-person course walkthrough where you can review the course and skills and ask questions.
Will this event be streamed?
We will be live streaming the course runs on YouTube.
Is chalk/tape allowed?
Both liquid and powdered chalk are permitted at Steel Peak. You are welcome to bring your own, and we have a variety of chalk available for sale.
Athletic tape is permitted to cover any injuries, however grip enhancement items like transparent liquid grip or gloves are not allowed.
Are the climbing walls open?
The Ninja course and surrounding areas will be closed to the public for the competition, however some climbing walls will remain open for our members. A sufficient warm up area will be provided for all Ninjas, however if you wish to warm up on any of the bouldering walls please note that climbing shoes are required, and you will need to go through a brief bouldering orientation with our staff first.
Spectator tickets are for spectating and do not include climbing. If you or any non-ninja children would like to climb please see the staff at the front desk to rent climbing shoes and upgrade your spectator ticket to a day pass for the facility. We will also go through a climbing orientation with you so you know how everything works.
