Monkey Butt Mayhem

Monkey Butt Mayhem is a challenging trail running event held at Juniper Point Trailhead in Gordonville, Texas. Participants choose between 3-hour or 6-hour timed races, completing as many loops as possible on a 0.33-mile course featuring the notorious Monkey Butt Hill—a steep 100-foot climb over just 0.1 miles with roots and boulders. The race runs counter-clockwise, with a tough ascent and a gentler descent.

Limited to 80 entrants, the event fosters a supportive trail community atmosphere, allowing crewing every third of a mile near the water’s edge. Runners receive a custom hat and can earn patches based on vertical gain milestones. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
