Get ready to unleash your inner ninja at the Ninja 5K, 10K, and 13.1 Half Marathon, taking place on Saturday, August 22, 2026, in the vibrant city of Montgomery, Alabama! This exciting event kicks off at 8:00 AM CDT, offering a fantastic opportunity for runners of all levels to challenge themselves across three dynamic distances. The scenic course winds through Blount Cultural Park, utilizing a well-designed out-and-back route. The 5K runners will complete two loops of the 0.78-mile one-way course, the 10K participants will tackle four loops, and Half Marathoners will conquer six loops of a 1.09-mile one-way segment, enjoying the park's beauty along the way.

As part of the US Road Running Race Series, this event promises a thrilling experience for everyone, whether you're a seasoned runner or looking for a new challenge. All finishers will be rewarded with an exclusive themed medal to commemorate their accomplishment. While typical race day conditions in late August can see highs around 94F and lows around 72F with a 13% chance of precipitation, the 8:00 AM start time aims to provide the coolest part of the morning.
