Screaming Monkey takes place at Eddie D. Jones Park near a national chimpanzee sanctuary. The event uses a repeatable 15.5 mile loop that passes close to the sanctuary and includes mostly single-track trail, equestrian trails, some gravel, and short road sections. The loop has roughly 1050 feet of elevation gain and loss.
Distance options offered for the day include:
- 10K
- 25K
- 50K
- 100K
- 100 miler
The trail surface is moderately packed soil with roots, rocks, pine straw, and occasional water depending on weather. Aid stations are located at the start/finish and on course with specific access near mile 5, mile 9 (drop bag access), and mile 14 (drop bag access). Drop bags are available at the aid stations listed.
Pacers are permitted by permission, must register as pacers, and sign a waiver. The event may include a Chimp Haven tour limited to 25 participants; a portion of the tour fee is refundable if canceled due to weather. Free camping is available at the park on race weekend with basic fire and cleanliness rules; some RV pads are available under boondocking rules and require organizer notification by 11/01/26. As tradition, participants in the longer distances receive distinct awards with buckles for 100K and 100 miler. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
