Ninjas in Texas?! Sort of…

If you’re feeling really inspired by the TV show “American Ninja Warrior,” you may want to register for the Nissan Titan of Texas Challenge next month at the 2016 State Fair of Texas.

Participants will have a chance to go up against former contestants of the popular NBC show on an obstacle course that Nissan has set up at Fair Park in Dallas.

Designed by Adventure Solutions, the manufacturer and builder of Ninja Warrior courses, the Titan of Texas Challenge is an intense course consisting of tough and rugged obstacles inspired by the 2016 Nissan TITAN XD.

“The Nissan TITAN XD’s power, torque and ruggedness has been put to the test under real-world conditions and has proven it is tough enough to take on virtually every duty, every day,” said Fred Diaz, division vice president and general manager, North America Trucks and Light Commercial Vehicles, Nissan North America. “We’re excited to bring this TITAN-inspired challenge course to the Lone Star State to see the best-of-the-best athletes battle it out for the ‘Nissan TITAN of Texas’ title for the second year in a row.”

Contestants will compete for $65,800 in prizes with the overall winner earning $15,000. Athletes will strive to set the best time in six obstacles, including:

  • Mini Steps
  • Jumping Spider
  • Traverse Spinning Globes/Monkey Bars
  • Salmon Ladder
  • Ring Slider
  • Warped Wall

The challenge will take place inside the main gate every Wednesday through Sunday during the State Fair of Texas, which takes place Sept. 30 – Oct. 23.

Contestants register as an individual with the option to also join forces as a team of four (two women and two men required for all team entries).

Registration is based on participation date and time and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Approximately 12 participants will be accepted for each time slot.
