Description

Gritty Chix
Have fun and test your own limits in the time and space you're comfortable with, while gettin' as Gritty as you wanna be on an untimed 5k Tenacious Trail (or 1 Moxie Mile) fun-run and mud obstacle course designed for excitement, fun, and laughter. Walk, sprint, skip, jog, or dance through trails, over walls, through tubes, and mud pits with names like Commando Crawl, Over-Under Logs, Slickey Slide, and more!

Wear anything you feel comfortable in. Anything. A bikini, a costume, overalls, a prom dress, whatever. But it will get dirty!

Mud obstacles have varying degrees of difficulty, and all obstacles are manageable. Some 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!

Tenacity on a Mission
A portion of every registration fee is donated the non-profit causes: First Descents (adventure activities for young adule cancer fighters and survivors) and the Women's Resource Center of Southern West Virginia (provides temporary shelter, counseling, advocacy and supportive services for victims, survivors, and witnesses of domestic and sexual violence). *In 2016, Gritty Chix donated to the American Cancer Society Relay for Life and First Descents.
