The Sam Lapidus Montclair Run

🏃‍♂️ Welcome to the Sam Lapidus Montclair Run

It’s time to lace up your running shoes for the 49th annual Sam Lapidus Montclair Run. The SLMR started in 1976 as the Montclair Run and quickly grew in popularity throughout the state.

🦸‍♂️ In Memory of Sam Lapidus

In 2009 the run was renamed to honor Sam Lapidus, who lost his battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a form of childhood cancer, in November 2008 — just nine days before his 15th birthday.

• Donation: Five dollars of every runner’s registration is donated in Sam’s memory to the Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood disorders at Children’s of Alabama.
• Impact: To date, the LJCC has donated more than $100,000 to the organization.

🎉 A Thanksgiving Tradition

Now hosting approximately 1,500 runners of all ages, the SLMR serves as a Thanksgiving Tradition for many Families and out-of-town visitors.

• Costume Awards: We will have awards for our friends who come best-dressed in costume.
