We are excited to be back in the Coliseum Center’s electric atmosphere! This year we did our best to maximize the schedule for everyone!
This year, athletes have more potential opportunities to showcase their abilities in our five Championship Events. We expanded our skills competitions to feel more like mini courses. In addition, we packed the venue with fun Pro Ninja Meet and Greets and fun activities for the family.
This page you will find all of the information you need regarding the run order and competition schedule for Worlds!
All athletes are automatically added enrolled to compete in five Championship events, Stage One and four Skills events! Athletes will be assigned to waves or scheduled competition times. You can locate an athletes wave by checking the official Worlds run order.
The venue will feature six courses running athletes at the same time! Courses are organized to provide the optimal experience for all athletes. Our team considered many factors when assigning divisions to courses including historical clear rates and optimizing the schedule to allow more athletes on later stages.
This year Kids, Mature Kids, Preteens will all have their own course. Young Adults, Adults and Masters Male Divisions will share one course. Teen, Young Adults, Adults and Masters Females will share another course. Finally, or Teen Males and Elite Male and Female divisions will share another.
Below you will find the schedule for each of our Stages as well as our Skills competition.
All athletes will compete on Stage 1. Stage will courses will be up Friday and Saturday! All stage 1 waves for each course start at the same time. This helps to simplify the schedule for everyone!

All athletes are automatically registered to compete in a skills wave! We built the skills run order by doing our best to provide adequate recovery time for athletes. Recovery time may vary. However, all athletes should have sufficient rest between times they are expected to compete.
Skills run from Friday-Sunday. Athletes running skills on Sunday will not be assigned a skills wave until Saturday evening. We do this to allow flexibility for athletes moving onto Stage 2. This year skills will run later in the day on Sunday. This schedule change was made to allow more time for all athletes showcase their abilities in our expanded skills events.
The schedule below will list the wave start time. However, athletes are expected to check into skills holding area one hour prior to their skills start time. This helps maintain a very tight skills schedule. Athlete’s who arrive late to their check in time will not be allowed to compete.

The run order for this year’s World Ninja League Championships is ready! The official run order for the event is now available for viewing utilizing the links below. Once you have located your athlete, or yourself in the run order, make sure you check the schedule. The schedule will help you locate the time of your Stage 1 Course Run as well as the time of your other 4 Championship Events also referred to as skills.
The schedule for this year’s event may look expanded compared to previous years. Please note we’re seeking to expand time limits for our skills competitions, meaning that our schedule does run from Friday Evening all the way through Sunday Evening. We are excited to provide more opportunities on obstacles for all of our athletes.
*Due to the fact there are a limited number of spots available for Stage 3 and the athletes eligible for World Champion contention are invited to Stage 3 first; It is possible an athlete who was unable to complete Stage 1 to place higher on Stage 2 then an athlete who cleared Stage 1 but not be eligible to move on to Stage 3.
