Sleeping Giant Mountain presents a challenging course up the Tower Trail.  Runners and walkers will start near the bottom of the broad trail and wind their way up 1.5 miles to the top.  Volunteers at the top will confirm that you made it up, then turn around and race down with gravity on your side! 

 There will be light refreshments at the bottom!  Check-in begins at 8 am in the front parking lot of the Park under the tent.  Come by early to get your number and register your team!

As a fraternity that brings together law students, lawyers, judges, and legislators, we thought it would be fun to challenge area law firms to find out who is the fastest!  There will be an award for the team with the fastest time for four racers.  Just make a note when you register what firm you are associated with, whether you are a lawyer or other employee (or intern!).  A "firm" is any law firm, corporate legal department, or legal services agency such as a State's Attorneys Office or Legal Aid organization.  Your firm can register as many participants as it likes, and we will average the three fastest scores to determine which firm is the overall fastest.  Go ahead and bring your ringers!
