The Experience

The Ninja 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon takes place in Vancouver, WA's Klineline Pond area, a small park setting with restrooms and parking. The course is a simple out-and-back on paved paths, repeated for longer distances. With a 3.5-hour time limit and packet pickup only 30 minutes before the start, this is an intimate, no-frills event.

Runners earn finisher medals and can compete for best costume. The atmosphere is low-key and community-focused, with basic post-race snacks provided. While lacking the scale of larger races, it offers a straightforward, accessible option for runners seeking a low-pressure half marathon or shorter distance.

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.
