Monkey Butt Mayhem

Gordonville, United States • 25 Apr 2026

Event Details

Monkey Butt Mayhem is a trail running event with a time-based format. Participants run a short loop of approximately one-third mile. The loop includes Monkey Butt Hill, a steep hill with 100 feet of climbing over about 0.1 miles. The course is run counter-clockwise, so the climb up the hill is the steep section, while the descent is more gradual.

Distances

Participants choose between two time categories:

  • 3 Hour
  • 6 Hour

The goal is to complete as many loops as possible within the chosen time limit.

Location and Logistics

The event starts at the Juniper Point Trailhead near Gordonville, Texas. Crew access and spectator areas are available very close to the course, with a setup point approximately every one-third mile.

Participant Information

Registration has an entrant limit of 60 spots total. All entrants receive a custom BOCO Gear running trucker hat with the event logo. During the race, participants can earn commemorative patches for achieving certain levels of vertical gain. Both 3-hour and 6-hour participants are eligible for all patches.
