KINGSTON COMPETITIONS
This year we will be hosting with FINA to provide Speed, Endurance, AND Ninja vs. Ninja qualifiers. Our second event of the season will be held February 7th and 8th and will be a Speed and Endurance qualifier! With FINA hosting their World Finals in Pennsylvania this year, this is a great chance for ninjas in the Northeast region to try out a new league with a World Finals that is within DRIVING DISTANCE!
​
This will be the ONLY Ninja vs. Ninja qualifier in our region and the Top 4 per division will qualify directly to World Finals!
​
The Speed Qualifier will be an 8 obstacle course with easier obstacles designed for competitors to test their speed on the course. The time limit may be tight so ninjas will have to push the pace to see if they can finish! Every competitor in speed will recive TWO runs at the course, with the better of their two times being the overall result for the competition.
​
The Endurance Qualifier will be a 12 obstacle course with obstacles designed to test competitors grip strength and technique. Athletes will have limited rest time between obstacles and will have to grind it out to see if they have enough energy and strength to finish the course. Whatever athlete scores the most points within the time limit or finishes the course in the fastest time will be crowned the winner!
​
In both of these formats,even if an athlete falls on an obstacle they can still receive points on the rest of the course. We plan on making the courses accessible for ninjas of all skill levels! Feel free to sign up whether you are new to ninja, intermediate, or a seasoned competitor!
​
Sign up for one qualifier OR both qualifiers at a discounted rate! You are not going to want to miss out on FINA this season!
​
Athlete's age divisions are based off of their age as of January 1st, 2026. Please obtain a Ninjaworks ID from https://timing.ninjaworks.com/accounts/login/?l=1&l=2 before signing up!
