We will be kicking off Season VII with a dual event season opener! We will be hosting both a Speed and Endurance qualifier. Sign up for either one, or do both and save (More course runs, more fun!) You’re already here, why not? We will do the Speed format first, where you get two runs on the course, and the move to the Endurance course.
Speed or Endurance Only: $55, Dual Event: $75
Waves may be adjusted or combined depending on needs; no changes will be made without approval from registered participants.

Speed:
Can you complete the course before the clock runs out? FINA Speed courses are designed for the ninja speedsters that like to step on the gas, and not slow down until they hit the buzzer!
All FINA Speed courses consist of 8 obstacles that pit athlete versus the clock.
There are three ways to qualify for the FINA Season VI Speed Sectionals:
Successfully complete all 8 obstacles at a FINA Speed event before the clock runs out, and you will earn your Speed Finisher Badge, and an automatic spot at Speed Sectionals.
Finish top 3 in your division at any FINA Speed competition, regardless of your total score, and you’re through to Speed Sectionals.
Earn and collect Speed points along the way for every Speed obstacle you complete before the clock runs out. Collect 21 points throughout the season, and your ticket to Speed Sectionals is punched.
The top finishers at FINA Speed Sectionals* will earn a trip to the FINA Speed Final at the 2026 State Games of America held at State College, Pennsylvania
Endurance:
Can you outlast the grip gauntlet you are staring down? Can you control your balance while your heart rate is pumping? FINA Endurance courses are designed for the athlete that may not win in a foot race, but has ALL-DAY grip strength.
All FINA Endurance courses consist of 12 obstacles that will test an athlete’s ability to push through the pain and hang on until there is nothing left in the tank.
There are three ways to qualify for the Season VI FINA Endurance Sectionals:
Complete all 12 obstacles at a FINA Endurance event within the time limit, and you will earn your Endurance Finisher Badge and an automatic spot at Endurance Sectionals.
Finish top 3 in your division at any FINA Endurance event and you will be on your way to Endurance Sectionals, regardless of the result of your course run.
Earn and collect points along the way for every obstacle you complete as you work your way through any FINA Endurance course. Collect 25 points throughout the season, and you’re on your way to Endurance Sectionals.
The top finishers at each FINA Endurance Sectional* will be eligible to compete in the FINA Endurance Final at the 2026 State Games of America held at State College, Pennsylvania. That is where we will crown FINA’S STRONGEST NINJA!
