The Experience

The Ninja series in New Port Richey, Florida, provides a straightforward racing experience on an asphalt course. Runners can choose from 5K, 10K, or half marathon distances, all utilizing an out-and-back format.

The 5K completes one out-and-back loop, the 10K does two, and the half marathon tackles four. The course is noted as being made of asphalt, suggesting a potentially fast surface for participants aiming for personal bests. The time limit for the half marathon is a generous 3 hours and 30 minutes, accommodating a wide range of runners.

While specific details on field size, repeat runner rates, or the number of states represented are not available, the series is organized by US Road Running, known for its consistent event production. Participants can expect finisher medals, shirts, and opportunities for costume awards, adding a touch of fun to the competitive event.

Race-provided description

US Road Running Races US Road Running races are built for runners and walkers who like friendly, low-pressure race days with just enough competition to keep things exciting. Our events are local, welcoming, and easy to jump into, whether you are chasing a PR, collecting another themed medal, working toward series points, or just getting outside with good people. Most races are small enough to feel personal but organized enough to feel official. You can expect a clear course, helpful race staff, finisher medals, results, and a relaxed community feel. Bring your fast shoes, your steady walking pace, your favorite running buddy, or your best “I signed up for this on purpose” smile. We will be glad to see you at the start line. A quick race-day note: because many US Road Running events are small local races, we normally have one or two staff members at each race. EMS is not stationed on site, and water stations are limited to the finish area at the end of each lap and at the race finish. Please plan for the weather, bring anything you may want between laps, and check in with race staff if you need help.
