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. 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.
Each contestant will get to run a course with 10-15 obstacles and you get one retry if you fail on a given obstacle. Each obstacle you complete gives you one point and the retry also counts as a point so if you don’t use it you get the bonus point. Whoever gets the most points in the fastest time wins!
Our goal is to make this SAFE & FUN! We have many people traveling to Cedar Falls from other states & gyms. Plan to socially distance from other families & competitors while in the gym. We ask that everyone wear a mask while in the gym. Competitors may remove their mask when running the course only. The warm up area can only be used by the 5 athletes next to run.
Please do not come to the gym if you or your child are coughing, sneezing, have a temperature, or are feeling sick. If you have been around someone who is Covid positive we also ask that you stay home. If you have underlying health conditions or are 60+ years old, we encourage you to stay home.
Everyone must use hand sanitizer when entering the building. Liquid chalk is recommended for competitor use due to it’s high alcohol content for sanitizing. We will be selling small bottles of liquid chalk for $6 or large bottles for $18.
The course walk-through will be a video instead of in person. We will share videos with everyone the night before the competition via email.
Specific start times for each age group are posted in the schedule tab. Schedules are subject to change.
Open Gym
Participants may attend open gym on the day before (Saturday) anytime between 10-2pm for $12 admission. (No open gym appointments are necessary! Just have your Ninja\U waiver done & come on in!) We will be closing at 2pm on Saturday to begin cleaning & set up for the competition.

Spectators
Cost is $5 at the door. Each competing ninja may have a minimal # of spectators – preferably only immediate family. They may only be in the building during their ninja’s wave of kids – socially distanced from other families please. After the awards for that group, we ask that everyone leave to make room for the next group of ninjas & parents. Spectators must wear a mask and sign a waiver. It is best to do this ahead of time. The waiver can be found here: www.ninjau.com/waiver. Young kids spectating may play in our Little Ninjas area.
Can’t attend? We will livestream the competition on Facebook. Like & Follow NinjaUGym for a post with the link as each age group begins.
Two waivers must be signed!
