Tower Tag Challenge
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 scenic views and historic Observation Tower. Participants run repeated loops of the Tower Trail, a 3.3 to 3.4-mile out-and-back course that ascends over 600 feet along a smooth carriage road to the tower, then returns the same way. The race offers 4-hour and 8-hour options, allowing runners to complete as many laps as possible within their chosen time. The course features a short paved section at the start and finish of each loop. The event emphasizes sustainability with a "cupless" policy and provides aid stations, finisher medals, and post-race food and beverages.
