From the Organizer
We are beyond excited to open registration for the 13th Annual Gretna Gritty!
Join us for Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center's 13th annual 5k mud run fundraiser with 20+ obstacles in the beautiful, rugged terrain of the Mt. Gretna area. During our first ever "Fall Gritty", participants can expect to encounter challenges of balance, brawn, bravery, buffoonery, and more! With hilly terrain and challenges new and old - the Gritty has something for everyone. This event allows you to challenge yourself as much as you want, so walking is also welcomed. In addition to the Gretna Gritty, we also host the "Nitty Gritty" kids (5-11 years old) fun run, which gets kids in on the action with a 1.3-mile fun run. All Gritty and Nitty Gritty runners can expect lunch, medals, adventures, a sweet Gretna Gritty t-shirt*, and memories to last a lifetime!
We plan to have an AMAZING event with the BEST course around & Raise $30,000! Proceeds for this event, excluding participation costs, will directly support the ministry of Gretna Glen Camp & Retreat Center. "God's Place Apart - Transforming Lives." You can learn more about us here.
*Participants registered prior to August 29th will receive a T-shirt - participants registered on 8-29 or after will not receive a Gretna Gritty T-shirt..
