Join The Run & Support Kiwi Kids

We're proud to partner with Variety - the Children's Charity helping Kiwi kids living in hardship access the essentials they need to thrive.

The reality in Aotearoa

Child poverty remains a hard truth: 156,000 children are living in poverty, 140+ kids in Waikato are still waiting for support.

How you can help

For every Hamilton participant, we’ll donate $1, and you can add $1, $2, $5, or $10 at checkout, or even sponser a child yourself.

What should I bring on the day?

Comfortable activewear, a change of clothes (you will get wet on the water slide!), towel, sunscreen, and plenty of energy.

*note: you can do the course with barefeet, Ninja Valley socks (available to purchase on site $3) or in rubber-soled sneakers.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes — we strongly recommend booking online before the event. Each Ninja Run session has limited spots to keep the course fun and queue-free. Early booking also guarantees your preferred time slot and helps you save with early-bird pricing. Walk-up tickets are only available if sessions haven’t sold out.

Can I run more than once?

Absolutely! Every ticket includes unlimited laps of the 2.5km course
