This Thanksgiving, the Levite Jewish Community Center proudly marks an extraordinary milestone: the 50th Annual Sam Lapidus Montclair Run (SLMR). What began in 1976 as a small neighborhood run along Montclair Road has grown over five decades into one of Alabama’s most beloved holiday traditions—welcoming more than 1,500 runners, walkers, families, and out-of-town visitors each year.
Whether you are chasing a personal record or starting Thanksgiving morning with a festive family walk, we invite you to celebrate 50 years of community, tradition, and togetherness.
