Sign up your junior ninja warrior for a .85-mile obstacle course just for kids! Olympia Ninja City will provide awesome equipment for participants to test their upper body strength, balance and agility in a fun, non-competitive environment.
Kids can test their upper body strength on unstable monkey bars, trapeze and a rings course, attempt balance and agility obstacles on the spinning log, slack line and quad steps, finishing on a warped wall! Each participant will receive a race t-shirt. Parents are required to accompany kids who are 5-8 years old (at no extra cost).
Ages 5 to 12 are invited to participate, and will be divided into age groups for the course. Cost is $20 for members of The Lodge Des Peres, $21 for residents of Des Peres, and $24 for non-residents. All are welcome. Registration deadline is September 11.
The Ninja Obstacle Course will take place on Sunday, Sept. 22. Start times are at 1:30, 1:50. 2:10 and 2:30 depending on the child's age. At Des Peres Park.
