Ninja 5K

The Ninja 5K, a US Road Running event, takes place in Athens, Georgia, starting at the North Oconee River Greenway Trailhead at 8:00 AM. Participants can choose from three distances: 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Registration is handled exclusively through RunSignup prior to race day; there is no on-site sign-up. Packet pickup is available shortly before the event begins. The 5K and 10K races follow an out-and-back course along the North Oconee River Greenway Trail. The 5K is completed once, while the 10K is run twice. The half marathon also uses an out-and-back format, repeating its course four times. All participants have a 3-hour 30-minute time limit. Costumes are welcome, and all finishers receive a medal. The event has a relaxed, local feel rather than a large-scale production.
