Great Ape Escape 5k-ish
The Great Ape Escape 5K-ish
Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 8am to 2pm with the event beginning at 9am!
Join us for our 4th Annual Great Ape Escape 5K-ish! (Now in the Fall!)
Invite your friends, family and co-workers -- and dogs! -- to walk, run, 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.
Become a Great Ape Escape Sponsor!
We have many sponsorship opportunities for local non-profit organizations, as well as individuals and businesses!

Won't You Help?
This project would not be possible without our many generous individual supporters and volunteers. We rely on donations to fulfill our mission, including caring for our existing residents and expanding the sanctuary to accommodate those chimpanzees still waiting in the lab.
Won’t you help us bring the remaining chimps to sanctuary by supporting Project Chimps today? Please donate today because...
