In Need Of A Gals' Getaway? One With Spas? Cocktails? And Mud?

A weekend-long event, the “Mudder of All Weekends,” is taking place Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29 in Calistoga, and includes a scavenger hunt, Pretty Muddy 5K fun run, restaurant and bar crawl, lodging and spa specials, yoga and dining offerings.

The event is open to women, ages 14 and older, said the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce.

Several lodging and spa properties in Calistoga are offering “Mudder” packages with room and spa deals, respectively. In addition, throughout the weekend participants will have access to Pretty Muddy menu specials and the chance to judge “dirtiest drink in town”.

The fun starts Friday, March 27 with the “Scavenge Mud City” scavenger hunt as Calistoga businesses are extending their hours as guests hunt through the city, and race to see their name top the real-time leaderboard.

On Saturday, March 28, participants head to the Napa County Fairgrounds for the Pretty Muddy 5K fun run -- an adventurous obstacle course with tons of mud and a finish line finale with food, drinks and music.

All fitness levels can participate, and men and children are welcome to watch or join in the last wave of the run. Women can also create or join teams and wear costumes.

That evening, Mudder participants can don pajamas and robes for the Calistoga Robe Romp, a restaurant and bar crawl through downtown Calistoga. Attendees can attend a “SpaJama” post-run pampering party. Tickets to this ladies-only event – hosted by Spa Solage – include drinks and mini spa sessions.

To round out the weekend, it’s yoga by the pool at Mount View Hotel or Roman Spa on Sunday, March 29, followed by brunch specials at many Calistoga restaurants.
