Hamden, United States • 6 Dec 2025
The Tower Tag Challenge is a trail running event held at Sleeping Giant State Park in Hamden, Connecticut, known for its stunning views and diverse trails. The race features a straightforward course on the Tower Trail, a smooth carriage road ascending over 600 feet in 1.5 miles to the park's Observation Tower. Participants run up and down this 3.3 to 3.4-mile loop, starting near 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.
