History
Australia Ninja Games (ANG) started in 2018 as a response to other Ninja competitions that had an athlete’s run end with their first failed obstacle. ANG competitions allow up to three fails on a course.
The first National Championships were held at The Compound in Melbourne. After numerous delays due to COVID, the second ANG National Championships were held in Canberra in January 2022.
In December 2022 ANG became an inaugural member of Obstacle Australia.
For the 2023 National Championships at Urban Xtreme Brisbane, there were 20 qualifying events with over 330 athletes registering for the event.
