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 and 6-hour timed races, completing as many loops as possible on a 1/3 mile course featuring the notorious Monkey Butt Hill. This steep hill climbs 100 feet over just 0.1 miles with a 20% grade, including roots and boulders, making it a tough ascent.

The course runs counter-clockwise, with a steep climb up the hill and a more gradual, less technical descent. Runners enjoy a supportive trail community atmosphere, crewing opportunities every 1/3 mile, and scenic views just 100 feet from the water. All entrants receive a custom running hat and can earn commemorative patches based on vertical gain milestones.

The event is limited to 80 participants, emphasizing an intimate and spirited experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
