Ninja World Open 2024

Welcome to Ninja World Open 2024 in Stockholm, Sweden

The Ninja World Open course consists of 30+ advanced Ninja-style obstacles which must be completed within a time cap of 25 minutes. The obstacles are highly advanced and require efficient technique and grip endurance. Athletes move from one obstacle directly to the next without running between the obstacles.

Venue
The competition takes place at Sports Club Vallentuna located in Stockholm, Sweden. Nearest airport is Stockholm Arlanda (ARN). Sports Club Vallentuna is one of Sweden’s most versatile fitness centres and features the largest indoor obstacle course in Europe. https://sportsclubvallentuna.se 

Race Details
In this one-day event there is one race division for men and one for women. The competition features morning qualifying rounds, followed by afternoon finals for the top 4 men and top 4 women. In the qualification athletes start individually every 3 minutes. In the finals athletes start in pairs where they race one final run to determine who becomes Ninja World Champion. Ranking is primarily determined by the number of obstacles each athlete successfully completes. Should there be a tie in obstacle completion, the athletes' finishing times will serve as the tiebreaker. Time cap is 25 minutes.

A judge accompanies each competitor around the entire track to ensure that the obstacles are completed correctly.

There are no age-group divisions, but it will be possible to filter the result lists by age-group.

Age limit: 18 years, with parental consent 12 years (on competition day)
