Put your speed, agility, and determination to the test while making a difference in your community! The YMCA Ninja Contest invites children ages 3–12 to race through a specially designed obstacle course for a chance to be crowned a 2026 YMCA Ninja Champion.

Participants are encouraged to wear fun, safe, themed costumes as they conquer the course, while family and friends cheer them on from the sidelines. Awards will be presented to the top three fastest finishers in each age division, as well as the top fundraising family.
