You may think of airports as places of departure and arrival, not as sporting arenas. But this summer, Munich Airport is about to surprise you. From August 23 to September 7, 2025, the Munich Airport Center (MAC) forum will host the spectacular Ninja Days, transforming Europe’s largest roofed outdoor forum into a world-class arena for action, energy, and unforgettable experiences.
A Sporting Spectacle You Won’t Want to Miss
Imagine standing under the vast roof of the MAC forum, the air buzzing with excitement as athletes prepare to tackle one of the most demanding obstacle courses ever built in Germany. On August 23, 2025, the Ninja Champions Series kicks off, bringing together 50 professional athletes from more than 16 nations.
The course itself is a marvel: nearly 50 meters long and over 7 meters high, designed by world-renowned ninja athletes David Eilenstein and Chris Harmat. Every detail has been carefully crafted to test strength, agility, and mental resilience.
And the best part? Admission is free, though you’ll need to order your ticket in advance at munich-airport.de/ninja.
International Stars on the Starting Line
If you’re passionate about ninja sports or curious to see what the hype is about, you’ll be thrilled by the impressive roster of international stars. Competitors include Olivia Vivian from Australia, Abby Clark from the USA, and Clément Gravier from France, the reigning champion in his category.
Adding to the excitement, the event will feature live commentary and appearances from Stefanie Noppinger, a multiple finalist in Ninja Warrior Germany, and Simon Brunner, a renowned Austrian parkour athlete. Expect the atmosphere to be electric as the tournament begins at 4:00 p.m., with doors opening at 3:00 p.m.

Want more than just watching? On August 24, 2025, you’ll have the chance to train with the professionals themselves. The workshops, open to both beginners and advanced participants, offer an incredible opportunity to learn ninja techniques directly from competing athletes.
Each session lasts about an hour and runs between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Advance registration is required, with a ticket price of 15 euros—a small investment for an unforgettable experience that could ignite a new passion in you.
