We took The Ninja Run into full race mode for The Ninja Run's City Finals 🔥🥷

The fastest competitors from every category returned to The Base to battle it out with marshals on the course, official timing, and serious competition from start to finish ⚡

But what makes The Ninja Run special is that it’s still built for everyone - all ages, all abilities, whether you race for fun or race for the win.

And after an epic finals showdown, our OFFICIAL fastest ninja is:
🏆 Scott Davies - 10:25

😲 Closely followed by Francoise Cloete with 10:49 in the 11-13 Boys category

Huge congratulations to all our finalists and category winners 👏

Here are the highlights from an incredible day 🎥🔥

THE NINJA RUN CITY FINALS 🥷🏃🔥

One of the things we love most about Ninja Run is that it’s for ALL ages and abilities. You don’t have to race the clock - you can simply come along, have fun, challenge yourself, and enjoy the course at your own pace.

BUT … for those who love competition, we decided to turn things up a level 👀

We invited back the fastest times from each category to compete in our very first Ninja Run City Finals! With marshals on the course, official timing, and race mode activated, the energy was next level 🔥

A huge congratulations to all our finalists and winners - and to our OFFICIAL FASTEST NINJA: 🥇 Scott Davies - 10:25

What an incredible event and an awesome showcase of speed, skill, determination, and community spirit.

A massive shout-out to these legends from St John's College, Hamilton 🥷💥

These guys have been with us through thick and thin this April. They were there for the heavy lifting to help us pack in, and they were right back at it today helping us pack out 🙌

The Ninja Run is a huge operation, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. They brought the muscle, the hustle, and that signature St John’s rugby team spirit that kept the whole team going🏉💪

Cheers for the hard work, boys. Good luck with the rest of your season!
