Participants who registered for this weekend’s canceled Dirty Girl Mud Run won’t receive any refunds “under any circumstances,” according to a post on the organization’s Facebook page.

About 2,500 people registered for the event. Registration cost between $65 and $95, depending on the date by which a participant signed up. The Dirty Girl waiver states, “All entries are final with no refunds,” and also states event officials can cancel or change the race “if in their sole judgment such cancellation or change is necessary or prudent due to emergency, severe weather or local or national disaster.” The clause goes on to state there will be no refunds issued under such circumstances.

The Dirty Girl Facebook post stated the event could not “be held due to circumstances out of our control.”

Human Movement Management, a production company hired to put on the event, and Dirty Girl owner 100 LLC told city officials and the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau that they were in the midst of working through financial issues, when a shuttle operator pulled the plug on its participation in the event.

Park Tours, which was to transport participants to and from Cato Park, gave both groups a 4:30 p.m. deadline Tuesday to make payment for its services. Neither Human Movement nor 100 LLC paid the company by that time, according to a statement from the city of Charleston.

The question of whether the run would go on was unanswered as late as Sunday evening when Human Movement contacted the city and the CVB to say it was canceling the run due to a financial dispute with 100 LLC.

Jeff Suffolk, president of Human Movement, would not explain to the Gazette the financial issues between the two.

There were also problems related to the remainder of a $10,000 deposit that was never paid to the city. Human Movement was contractually obligated to pay those deposits -- $5,000 in March and $5,000 in June. 100 LLC wrote the check in March for half, but neither company paid the balance to the city as of Tuesday evening.
