Details

"Ninja Warrior" is a new sport based off the TV show "American Ninja Warrior" in which people go through an obstacle course as fast as they can. The sport is growing in popularity and set to debut at the 2028 Summer Olympic Games under the name "Obstacle Course Racing" as part of the Modern Pentathlon. \

This dataset contains times from a 2025 Ninja Warrior class for children. Due to time constraints some children only did the course once, while others were timed for up to five different runs.
