Join us for the 44th annual Sam Lapidus Montclair Run, this year with a virtual twist! Registration is open now for this fun and rewarding, family-friendly, and safe event.
The Sam Lapidus Montclair (Virtual) Run will honor the short but very full life of Sam Lapidus, who died of Ewing’s sarcoma, a form of childhood cancer, in November 2008 – just nine days before his 15th birthday. Funds raised from the virtual run will be donated to the Alabama Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s of Alabama and the Levite Jewish Community Center.
Don’t put your running shoes away just yet. The Sam Lapidus Montclair (Virtual) Run kicks off November 14 and goes through November 29 to get you in the holiday spirit.
As we approach Thanksgiving this year, we give thanks for all our friends and family, and for those who run and walk and support our efforts to put an end to childhood cancer.

FUNDRAISING & TEAMS
At the center of our event is YOU – our participants! We need your help to make the biggest impact possible against childhood cancer. While your registration fee gets you to the starting line, it’s your fundraising dollars that will help find a cure.
Why create a team?
Being part of a team is fun! It creates a sense of community and accountability. Plus, forming a team increases participation which increases the impact we can make. Show your team spirit by rounding up your coworkers, friends, family, your child's soccer team, and your Mah Jongg group - and start or join a team!
CREATE CHANGE TOGETHER!
Once you’ve created a team you can encourage others to join your team. Team members can choose for themselves to run on their own, run together at a safe social distance, or sleep in for Sam and skip the run!
