Get ready to unleash your inner wild child at the Gritty Chix Mud Run on June 20, 2026, held at the sprawling ACE Adventure Resort in Oak Hill, WV. This celebrated event, voted a top mud run in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, offers two thrilling distances: the fun-focused Moxie Mile (1M) and the more challenging 5K Tenacious Trail. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 79F and lows around 60F, with only a 20% chance of precipitation, ensuring ideal weather for getting down and dirty.

The Gritty Chix Mud Run promises an unforgettable adventure through woodland trails that converge on an epic mud obstacle course. Whether you tackle the Moxie Mile or the 5K Tenacious Trail with its additional mud holes, you'll encounter a variety of manageable obstacles including walls, tubes, balance challenges, and cargo nets. While upper body strength is helpful, the emphasis is on camaraderie, laughter, and support, with the option to bypass any obstacle you're uncomfortable tackling. Expect a course that is approximately 50% wet and 50% dry, featuring an elevation change of around 250 feet, ensuring both a physical challenge and plenty of muddy good times. Water and first aid stations are readily available along the trails and at the finish line.

This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of grit and glee. Participants, often sporting creative costumes with prizes for the best, are encouraged to cheer each other on through every muddy step. After conquering the course and receiving a hard-earned medal, runners can rinse off at dedicated stations before heading to shower houses via shuttle. The post-race party continues at The Lost Paddle Bar & Grill, offering food, drinks, and free live music. Beyond the race, ACE Adventure Resort provides an array of activities from a waterpark to ziplining, making the Gritty Chix Mud Run a perfect weekend escape where unforgettable muddy memories are guaranteed.
