Welcome Warriors Ninja 5K

Lace up your running shoes for an unforgettable experience at the Welcome Warriors Ninja 5K on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the charming town of Industry, Texas! This isn't just a race; it's a unique Capture the Flag event that promises fun for all ages and fitness levels. Runners will embark on a picturesque country journey, winding past open pastures and charming farm animals, enjoying the scenic beauty of the Texas landscape. With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 68F and lows near 46F, and only a 12% chance of precipitation, you can expect comfortable weather for your adventure.

What makes the Welcome Warriors Ninja 5K truly special is its engaging Capture the Flag element. Each race division will have a uniquely colored flag posted at the halfway point. The first participant to seize their division's flag and carry it across the finish line claims victory for that division. The excitement continues even if you're tapped out by another runner, as you'll simply yield a 10-yard advantage before resuming your quest to recapture the flag—all in good, clean fun. Whether you're aiming for a timed finish or embracing the ninja spirit, race medals await all participants, with special awards for Capture the Flag winners in each division and the top overall male and female finishers. Don't forget to embrace the theme and feel free to dress like a ninja!

More than just a race, this event serves as a vital fundraiser for the Welcome Sports Ministry, an outreach program of Welcome Lutheran Church that provides completely free martial arts lessons focused on self-defense for all ages. Join the community at 725 Main St., Industry, TX, at 9:00 AM CST, for a memorable 5K that supports a wonderful cause, offering both a timed race and a playful challenge through the Texas countryside.
