Ninja 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Lace up for an exhilarating challenge at the Ninja 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, set to conquer Mobile, Alabama, on Saturday, August 15, 2026. This dynamic event, kicking off bright and early at 8:00 AM from the scenic Medal of Honor Park, offers runners of all levels the chance to unleash their inner ninja across a choice of 5K, 10K, or 13.1-mile distances. The courses are designed as engaging out-and-back loops that showcase Mobile's beautiful landscape, with the 5K tackling two loops, the 10K completing four, and the Half Marathon pushing endurance with six loops.

Participants can expect a vibrant atmosphere with a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, ensuring everyone has ample opportunity to achieve their goals and soak in the community spirit.
