Gretna Gritty Fall 2026 - 5k Mud Run Fundraiser

The Competitive Waves will happen first thing in the morning, with two waves at 8:00 AM for ALL INDIVIDUAL RUNNERS and 8:10 AM FOR ALL TEAMS. If the 8:10 Team Wave has more than 12 full teams, we will split into two waves to prevent excess bottle-necking. Expect a rugged 5k of Mud, Fire, Tires, Nets, Cold Water, and more! This event is for people 12+ who want to be professionally chip timed, and/ or have interest in competing. This year we will award top 3 overall males, and females, as well as have recognition for age bracket winners (online and posted at event). 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. This is to provide consistency for timers and allow for us to come up with a best overall "cumulative" score. Teams that win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place will not qualify for individual winnings, and will wait longer for a separate team winner announcement. 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 one of the earliest heats. Every runner in these waves will be chip timed, and have to pay the chip timed (competitive) rate.
