Why you dream of this race

THE DREAM

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This is the 8th edition of the race, held on November 7, 2026, at Eddie D. Jones Park in Keithville, Louisiana.

It's often called the "Monkey Trail" because it's next to a national chimpanzee sanctuary,

and course loops around the sanctuary so runners can hear the primates the whole way.
