Season VI – World Championships
In an effort to help families consolidate their ninja dollars and travel time, FINA is hosting their World Championship at the Dallas Market Center at the same time as the UNAA World Finals and OCR 3K Race.
This year, we are bringing back the Speed and Endurance Finals, and keeping the Round of Champions to create a THREE PART Finals for our athletes!
All three events will run for all three days of the competition, and athlete divisions will rotate through the events.

FINA Round of Champions
Format Update
FINA is updating the format for WCV, known as the Round of Champions. We are going to keep all the elements that you love and have come to expect from FINA, such as multiple runs and head-to-head races. We hope that this new format will help to streamline the divisions and provide less “down time” for our athletes between races.
- Each athlete will run two head-to head races in a wave determined by their standings after Sectionals. These two races will be run for TIME only.
- The top eight times in each division (age, male/ female) will return at the end of the division to run in a head-to-head double elimination bracket with each race determined by a winner (either fastest to the buzzer or furthest, fastest).
