Ninja 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Prepare to embrace your inner ninja and conquer the Ninja 5K, 10K, or 13.1M on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in Little Rock, Arkansas. This event offers a vibrant opportunity for runners of all levels to challenge themselves across three distances: a 5K (one loop), a 10K (two loops), and a Half Marathon (four loops). The scenic, asphalt out-and-back course, winding through the heart of Pulaski County, promises a smooth and engaging run for all participants.

Kicking off at 8:00 AM, runners should be prepared for typical race day conditions in early August, with historical highs around 92-94°F and lows around 70-73°F, accompanied by moderate, often sticky, humidity. There's also a 13-20% chance of precipitation, so keep an eye on the forecast. All finishers will be rewarded with a themed medal, and awards will be presented to top overall and age group performers. Packet pickup conveniently begins 30 minutes before the start, with no on-site registration, ensuring a smooth pre-race experience, and bathrooms are available near the playground before the starting line.

With a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, the Ninja 5K, 10K, and 13.1M is designed to be accessible for both seasoned athletes and those new to racing. Join the community for a fun-filled atmosphere and the chance to earn unique finisher bling, perhaps even donning your most outrageous costume for a shot at the "Best Costume" award.
