The Sam Lapidus Montclair Run : event overview
The Sam Lapidus Montclair Run is an annual road race held in Birmingham, Alabama. The 2025 edition is the 49th running; the event began in 1976 and was renamed in 2009 in memory of Sam Lapidus. Five dollars from each runner's registration is donated to the Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s of Alabama. The Levite Jewish Community Center reports it has donated more than $100,000 to that organization. The event now hosts about 1,500 participants and is described as a Thanksgiving tradition for many families and visitors. Awards are given for best-dressed participants in costume.
