Gritty Chix Mud Run 2022

Gritty Chix Mud Run is back to ACE Adventure Resort this summer and we are ready to jump back into all that mud! No matter what Gritty Chix wear (athletic wear, costumes, or dresses), no matter how they look (aflame with glitter, game day face paint, or gloriously au natural), no matter how they start (sprinting, jogging, or moseying along), no matter how hard they laugh or grit their teeth along the way, they cross the finish line as mud covered and as triumphant as they want to! Second to none.

Gritty Chix Mud Run is where you cut loose and let it fly! It’s all good.

Walk, sprint, skip, jog, crawl and dance through trails, over walls, through tubes, and mud pits! You’re gonna sweat a little, challenge yourself a little, get a little mud in your teeth, and you’re gonna have a lotta fun.

Gritty Chix FAQs

Can guys participate, or is this a women only event?

We don’t exclude the guys that respect our grit – These Dirty Dudes are welcome to run with us!

Is there a minimum age for racers?

Open to everyone ages 10 and up; under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. No exceptions.

What should I bring?

  • Wear a solid pair of running shoes
  • Towel to dry off after using our free showers (Shower houses and changing rooms are available)
  • Bag/Trashbag for wet/dirty clothes
  • Comfy change of clothes
  • Waterproof sunscreen

If you forget to pack it, the Outfitter Store at the resort has many items you may need.

Do I have to be on a team to race?

Teams are welcome but not necessary. The largest team gets special recognition.

Will prizes be awarded?

Yes! Prizes will be awarded for the following:

  • Most Creative Team Name
  • Best Costume
  • Furthest Traveled
  • Largest Team

*ACE Adventure Resort gift certificate prizes will be announced at the starting line and posted in the Lost Paddle. Pick up prizes in the finish line!

Are spectators welcome? (I have an entourage)

Spectators enter for Free – or for the price of a muddy hug – bring your family and friends with their cameras to cheer for you at your grittiest best.

The Race Course

You choose – the 5k Tenacious Trail or the Moxie Mile?

Both woodland trails converge on the mud obstacle course, with a few additional mud-holes on the Tenacious Trail. Obstacles have varying degrees of difficulty, but all are manageable. Upper body strength is helpful and you have the option to bypass any obstacle you’re not comfortable tackling. Go for it before going around it – try to complete each one. It’s all about excitement, laughter, and camaraderie so we encourage applause, hoots, hollers, and lending a helping hand. Water and first aid are stationed along the trails and at the finish line.
