About the event

The Gretna Gritty is Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center's 6th annual 5k mud run with 20+ obstacles set in the beautiful, rugged terrain of the Mt. Gretna area. We don't like to brag but we HAVE been called the "Hometown Hero" of Obstacle course races. Participants can expect to encounter mud, water, fire, rocks, earth, and climbs that excite the mud runner in us all!  If you like to do awesome events for good causes - this is the race for you! In it's 5th year we will also host the "Nitty Gritty" kids fun run which gets kids (5-11 years old) in on the action with a 1 mile fun run. All Gritty and Nitty Gritty runners can expect lunch, medals, special promotions, a sweet Gretna Gritty t-shirt, and memories to last a lifetime! 

We seek to have an AMAZING event with the BEST course around & Raise $50,000 for Gretna Glen's "Pathways to the Future" finance initiative, and Bathhouse project. All proceeds for this event, excluding the costs of participation, will go directly toward Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center's "Pathway to the Future" Initiative, and construction of our new bathhouse. We seek to cast off our burden of debt so that camp can continue free of financial struggle, transforming lives for many years to come. Our goal this year is to have 1000 runners and raise more than $50,000! With your help, we can make this happen.

Races offered by this event

Competitive Wave #1- 8:30 AM

12 May, 2018 (Sat) - 08:30
Obstacle race
1 mi
The Competitive Waves will happen first thing in the morning, with wave starts from 8:30 to 9:30. 5k of Mud, Fire, Tires, Nets, Ice and more! This event is for people 12+ who want to be professionally chip timed, and/ or have interest in competing for top 3 prizes (male, female, and team). Competitive runners will have to complete obstacles or do burpees to make up for missed obstacles. All finishers receive a sweet Gretna Gritty T-shirt, medals, lunch, and bragging rights.

Team size for this race is 4 people. No more, no less, but you are welcome to sign up as two separate teams, or to have a friend run alongside you as a 5th "informal" team member. This is to provide consistency for timers and allow for us to come up with a best overall "cumulative" score.

Anyone who chooses to run competitive waves, but not compete for prizes will have the option of disqualifying themselves (so as to avoid burpees). This is a good option for someone who is solely interested in being chip timed, or prefers a morning heat. Every runner in these waves will be chip timed, and have to pay the chip timed (competitive) rate.

The Walk-A-Thon has no age limit, and is a great way to walk a 5k trail beside the Gritty. The trail is hilly, but passable, and you should expect to wear sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting muddy. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and a water bottle to refill at our many water stations along the path. The reason you will be signing a waiver is to release liability from Gretna Glen in the event that you choose to participate in any of the challenges/ obstacles. Last year we had several walkers decide to get in on the gritty action! All walkers receive lunch, medals, a t-shirt, and a walking tour of some of the most beautiful parts of camp.

This event was a blast last year! Bring your kids (ages 5-11) and they'll enjoy a mile of fun and mud that they'll remember for the rest of their lives! Every child who runs the Nitty Gritty will receive a Gretna Gritty T-shirt, lunch, caked on mud, and smiles for the whole ride home! There are no set wave times for the Nitty Gritty. Just show up any time between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm.
*Parents may run alongside the Gritty, but know that we will have staff at every element, and keeping kids safe is what we do best at Gretna Glen.
*This event is not timed, or competitive.

The Non Competitive Waves are our most versatile option with waves starts from around 10 am until roughly 1:30 in the afternoon. Participants will run the same trail as the Competitive runners with 5k of Mud, Fire, Tires, Nets, Ice and more! This event is for people 12+ who are interested in a non competitive, non timed, "all the mess with half the stress" opportunity. All runners receive a sweet Gretna Gritty T-shirt, medals, lunch, and bragging rights.

Team sizes for the non-competitive run are unlimited, so you can invite your friends, family, youth group, and co-workers to join you on the fun! Sign up today!
