Screaming Monkey
土 11月 7
Screaming Monkey is a trail race held at Eddie D. Jones Park in Keithville, Louisiana, adjacent to the Chimp Haven sanctuary. Participants can select distances ranging from a 10K to a 100-miler, covering a short trail run to a full ultrarunning weekend within the same event. The race utilizes a 15.5-mile loop, which longer-distance runners complete multiple times to achieve their chosen mileage.
The loop consists primarily of single track, incorporating equestrian trail sections, some gravel, and brief road crossings. Each circuit features approximately 1,050 feet of elevation gain and loss, crossing packed dirt with roots, rocks, pine straw, and occasional muddy sections after heavy rain. Aid stations are positioned at the start/finish and along the course, with drop bag access points near miles 9 and 14. because of the proximity of the chimp sanctuary, a brief Chimp Haven tour, limited to 25 participants, may be offered. Complimentary camping at the park contributes to the event's relaxed trail race atmosphere, and finishers of the 100K and 100-mile races receive buckles.
The Next Loop Endurance Series- Tyler, TX Nov
土 11月 14
The Next Loop Endurance Series in Tyler, Texas, is a November trail race at Tyler State Park centered on a single, repeated 3.1-mile dirt singletrack loop. Participants begin together, completing one 5K-style lap at a time, continuing until they reach their chosen distance, opt to stop, or reach the event's limit. The Tyler event also features 40-mile and 50-mile distances, each with a 12-hour time limit, allowing the race to serve as an initial trail test, a supported long run, or a complete ultramarathon endeavor.
The loop crosses the pine forests of East Texas, featuring winding paths, tall pines, undulating terrain, consistent ascents, smooth runnable sections, shaded areas, and intermittent lake vistas. A central start-finish point functions as the aid station each lap, providing runners consistent access to hydration, nutrition, crew assistance, race personnel, and personal staging spots. The repetitive loop design eliminates navigation concerns, shifting the focus to pacing, fueling, and determining if another lap is feasible. Each completed lap is recorded, and the format is designed for runners of varying experience, from novices to ultra athletes honing their patience over numerous circuits.
