Sleeping Giant Trail Runs

The Sleeping Giant Trail Runs will be one of the toughest, gnarliest races in the Northeast! Considered one of the more iconic parks and popular trail running/hiking spots in Connecticut for outdoor enthusiasts, it offers every kind of trail imaginable. There are 30+ miles in the park with everything from smooth carriage roads to the more technical, rocky, winding singletrack that Connecticut is famous for. This will be a beast of a course with 3K+ of vertical in the 25K loop. If you think you can handle two loops, then it's a 50K for you! In comparison to our difficult Macedonia Trail Race 25K/50K, this course will run even harder. With 250+ registered in 2025, this is one of our more popular events. Don't miss out on the adventure!
