A ninja course and competition is coming to Cookeville.
J&S Construction has partnered with Hope Center Adoption & Family Services to bring the Ninja Nation Mobile Course to Cookeville for a day of competition and community fun. The 125-foot course features ninja warrior obstacles including the world famous warp wall.
Cookeville Ninja Challenge event will take place on Saturday, Nov. 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hyder-Burks Pavilion. The course will be open to the public and host a team competition. This family friendly event will have vendors, food trucks, and more.
“Cookeville Ninja Challenge is going to be a fun time for everyone,” said Crystal Young, Executive Director of Hope Center. “All of the proceeds will go to helping women, children, and families in our community. We are honored that J&S Construction would partner with Hope Center to bring this to our community.”
The mobile ninja unit consists of parkour obstacles, agility, and strength challenges for participants ages six and up. The course will be open for individuals during portions of the day, and a four-man team competition will be held. Teams will compete in a timed challenge. The team with the best overall course time will win the title “Cookeville Ninja Warrior” along with other prizes.
Tickets for the course and entry fees for the team competition will go to benefit Hope Center Adoption and Family Services. Hope Center is a non-profit adoption agency located in Cookeville that serves women and families through affordable adoption services. The organization has been serving in the community since 2018, and this event will help in raising funding to further their work with women, children, and families.
Vendors and food truck owners are encouraged to contact Hope Center to be a part of this one of a kind event at 931-252-7159. More information about the event will be posted on Hope Center’s social media accounts @hopecenteradoptions.
