Tower Tag Challenge

Tower Tag Challenge is a trail-running event at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, Connecticut. Runners tackle the Tower Trail, a mostly smooth crushed-gravel carriage road that climbs about 600+ feet in 1.5 miles to the park’s Observation Tower, offering views of the surrounding landscape and, on clear days, Long Island Sound. Each Tower Tag attempt is a 3.3–3.4 mile out-and-back loop, starting from the park pavilion and including a short paved section at the start/end.

The event offers 8-hour and 4-hour formats, with a cup-less policy requiring runners to carry their own hydration. A post-race celebration includes food and non-alcoholic drinks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
