Gritty Chix Mud Run

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.

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. Our motto: go for it before going around it!  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.

We’ve got some great perks for all of our racers like…

• Race Medal at the Finish Line
• Free Gritty Chix Race Shirt (When you sign up before 4/30/23)
• Secure Bag Check to hold your goodies while you get muddy
• Shower houses and changing rooms to get clean after the run
• Free Parking
• Shuttles to and from parking and shower facilities
• Hiking trail access and use
• Live entertainment at The Lost Paddle Bar and Grill
• Prizes
• Special Gritty Chix discounts on adventure activities.

After you rinse off at the finish line, hop on one of our shower shuttles before heading down to The Lost Paddle to refuel and catch the FREE live music! The fun doesn’t have to stop there. ACE is the largest outdoor adventure resort in the eastern US. Zipline through the treetops with unbeatable views of the New River Gorge, explore numerous hiking trails and overlooks on property or add a waterpark pass and tackle the blob or relax beachside. When all the fun has been had, slip away to your private cabin or end the day around a campfire at your favorite campsite with friends.

After getting muddy for a great cause stick around and jam with us on the deck of The Lost Paddle. The Company Stores will be rocking the Lost Paddle Saturday night. This group is a modern rock band from Charleston, WV. Described by Skope Magazine as having “soulful, sultry vocals, a funky horn section, and a gritty backbeat”, the band’s upcoming record, The Family Album, is already receiving rave reviews by critics and is set for release in September 2022.

Plus afternoon and evening sets from Annie Neeley Band and MA’AM. Annie Neeley brings her blend of country-soul, roots rock, and even bluegrass to the stage. MA’AM is a sister duo mixing folk, rock, country, jazz. Free shows and music kicks off at 4pm outside on the deck.
