Get ready to channel your inner warrior at the Ninja 5K, 10K, & 13.1M, taking place on Saturday, August 1, 2026, in beautiful Beavercreek, Ohio! This vibrant event, kicking off bright and early at 8:00 AM, promises a fun-filled day for runners of all levels. Participants can choose their challenge from three exhilarating distances: a 5K, a 10K, or a rewarding Half Marathon, each designed to deliver an engaging race experience. As part of the US Road Running Race Series, you can expect a well-organized event with a lively atmosphere, encouraging both personal bests and camaraderie.

The race unfolds at E J Nutter Park, where runners will tackle a scenic out-and-back course. The 5K features one loop of approximately 3.11 miles, while the 10K doubles the distance with two loops of the scenic route. For those aiming for the Half Marathon, prepare for a test of endurance across four loops of the 3.28-mile course. The courses are generally flat, making them accessible for various fitness levels. Runners are encouraged to embrace the "Ninja" theme, with a "Best Costume" contest adding an extra layer of fun and spirit to the event. Every finisher will be rewarded with a stunning themed medal to commemorate their achievement.

Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start time and concludes 10 minutes prior to the race, so arriving early is essential. Remember, there will be no on-site registration; all runners must register in advance via RunSignup. With a generous course time limit of 3 hours and 30 minutes for all distances, there’s ample opportunity to complete your chosen race at your own pace. Typical race day conditions in early August in Beavercreek see highs around 86°F and lows around 66°F, with a 16% chance of precipitation, so plan your hydration and attire accordingly.
