Tower Tag Challenge

The Tower Tag Challenge is a trail running event held at the iconic Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, Connecticut. The race features a simple yet challenging course on the Tower Trail, a mostly smooth carriage road that ascends over 600 feet in 1.5 miles to the park's Observation Tower, offering stunning views including Long Island Sound on clear days. Participants run up and down this 3.3-mile loop, starting at the park pavilion, with a short paved section at the start and end of each lap.

Runners can choose between 4-hour and 8-hour race options, aiming to complete as many laps as possible within their time frame. The event promotes sustainability with a "cupless" policy and offers aid stations, finisher medals, awards, and a post-race celebration with food and beverages.
