The Great Ape Escape 5-kish

The 5th Annual 5K-ish

Join us for our 5th Annual 5K-ish!

*Saturday, October 3, 2026, from 8am to 2pm with the event beginning at 9am!

The 5k-ish course uses a combination of our entrance gravel road, our green trail, and our white and yellow trails.

The 1 mile-ish Knuckle Walk uses a combination of our entrance gravel road and the East loop of our Green Trail.

Invite your friends, family and co-workers -- and dogs! -- to run, walk, hike or woof this fun off-road event!

This is a rain or shine, non-refundable event.

NOTE: The course is just short of a true 5k. But what we lack in distance, we make up for in grit! Our trails feature inclines and declines through nature with frequent uneven surfaces including, but not limited to, sticks, rocks and wooden structures.
