Competition Details:
Our big Ninja Warrior competition days will BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!  The top male and female will be invited to a luncheon with Arnold Schwarzenegger and winners from other sports on Sunday at 12  pm, so we will finish our Ninja competition Saturday at 5:30 pm!

Friday and Saturday we will have 1 hour waves running until 2:30 pm on Saturday.  Please come 15 minutes before your wave time (unless you sign up for the 9:30 am wave and aren't allowed in beforehand).  

Competition Rules:
  • Everyone gets 1 run by signing up for the initial entry fee. 
    • If you fall on your run, you are done. 
    • If you complete the course, your time will stop when you hit the buzzer. 
    • If you do not complete the course, your time will be counted by your last completed obstacle.
  • After buying your first run, you are welcome to buy additional runs (see below) to try to get a better time, or to get more practice on the course.
  • The top 8 male and female times (furthest the fastest) will continue on to the finals at 3:30 pm on Saturday March 2nd.  They will race each other side by side (males vs males, females vs females) in a seeded bracket with double elimination to determine the overall male and female winner.​

  • 1 run on the Ninja Warrior course (rule of you fall and you are done)

Extra Runs:  $10 per run or 3 for $25
  • Only people who who have bought the initial run will be eligible to purchase extra runs. 
  • Eligibility will occur within a day, but is not automatic. Allow about 10 hours.
  • About 10 hours after your initial registration online you will receive an email with instructions and the discount code for a 3rd extra run.
  • The registration software will only allow you to sign up for one extra run per wave. If you want to have more runs in the same wave, you can email the gym and we will try to accommodate your request. This will be a slower process and we can't guarantee there will be slots available.
  • You can buy as many runs as time allows.
  • Each hour has a capped amount of extra runs, so we recommend you buy them early!
  • You can buy extra runs at the event, but only if there is time.​

 Steps To Sign Up For Our Competition:
  1. Register for our Ninja competition by picking a wave time below and signing up.
  2. Sign a waiver- We will send out an email with a link to a waiver to sign ahead of time. 
  3. Check out the map of where we will be. We are in the top left section on the map, in Hall D of the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The Ninja Warrior course is located between the CrossFit area and the Grappling area. (This is considered an Event and is not listed in the booth or exhibitor lists.  It is listed on the schedule for the festival, near the bottom of the page.)
  4. Check out other information about the Arnold Sports Expo!  There is also a Kids & Teens Expo.  They will have a ninja course as well that you're welcome to check out, they just won't be doing a competition. The Arnold Organizers have offered to take any Ninjas from the show to the Kids & Teens expo by bus, so the kids there can meet you! Any friends or family coming with you will need to buy wristbands to get into the expo (tickets on the Arnold site), but registered ninja competitors DO NOT need to buy a ticket to get in.  If you already bought one, please contact the gym, and we'll see if someone else can buy it from you.
  5. Pick up your Arnold Festival Wristband- For those in town before the event, you can pick up your wristband to get into the Arnold Expo at MLAB Ohio on Wednesday or Thursday evening during our normal hours.  If you aren't in town until Friday or later, you will need to pick up your wristband right outside of the expo.  We will have someone right outside the entrance to the expo waiting to give out wristbands to our athletes. We will send an email with instructions to everyone who registers!
  6. Bring your ID with you to the Arnold Ninja Competition so that we can verify your name and age.  
  7. Train hard and smart for the next few weeks and see you 15 minutes before your wave time, if not earlier!

*You do not need to buy a ticket for the Arnold Sports Expo if you are competing on the course and have registered online (by noon, Feb. 27). See item 5 above.
