AMERICAN NINJA WARRIORS
TO APPEAR AT ROCKFORD NINJA WARRIOR EVENT
Ten Popular Contestants
from the Hit NBC Television Show “American Ninja Warrior” will be Featured at
the Rockford Ninja Warrior Community Event
Rockford, MI: Contestants
from the “American Ninja Warrior” television show will be appearing at the
Rockford Ninja Warrior event on October 10 & 11. The list of names that
will be in attendance includes, Elet Hall, Drew Drechsel, Ryan Stratis, Kevin
Bull, James McGrath, Mia Lazarewicz, Andrew Karsen, David Schwartz, Eric
Sietsema and Robin Pietschmann. These men and women represent some of the
show’s top talent, as well as some of America’s favorite competitors. The
American Ninja Warriors will be signing autographs and meeting fans throughout
the day on Saturday. Then, they will compete live on Rockford’s own course Saturday
evening at 6pm to showcase their skills for attendees as the grand finale to
the event.
The ninja warrior phenomenon has been sweeping the country
both on national television and in gyms across America. A blend of parkour, crossfit
and gymnastics, ninja warrior obstacle courses offer fitness buffs extreme
obstacles to conquer in a timed setting. Earlier this month, BridgeWay Community Church announced
that it would be bringing this intense style of physical competition to
Rockford, Michigan. With both a professional course and junior level course,
Rockford Ninja Warrior will offer a unique adventure for competitors of all
ages. If the professional course looks familiar, it is because the obstacles
being used mimic the American Ninja Warrior course in both size and difficulty.
Brian Pankratz, from BridgeWay Community Church, explained,
“We wanted to create a really exciting event that would engage our community and
inspire kids to be healthy and active. Our philosophy has always been ‘Go big,
or go home’ and we are really going big with this event! We have amazing corporate
sponsors that understand our vision for this event and are willing to give of
their time and resources to make it a huge success. The response so far has
been overwhelming, which really showcases what a supportive and engaged
community we have around us.”
The family-friendly event is free to the community. Food and
merchandise will be available for purchase. Adult athletes can register online to
run the professional course for $40 per person. Children must be registered to
run the junior course onsite ($10 per person). The proceeds from Rockford Ninja
Warrior will go toward building a youth center as well as 10% will be donated
to the Rockford Public School system’s “Developing Healthy Kids” program.

Warrior is being brought to the community with sponsorship from BridgeWay
