Grab your old running shoes and join us for the 10th annual Gibbet Hill Cattle Run while raising money for a great cause!

Dodge cow-pies, navigate cattle trails, dash through 'castle ruins', and get ready to scale Groton's most famous peak, Gibbet Hill. The Gibbet Hill Cattle Run is a 8.4 mile, three-person team relay with each team member running two 1.4 mile legs. Think you'll work up an appetite? Barbecue, beer, and live music will be waiting for you and your team at the finish line to help celebrate raising money for these great causes. Webber Restaurant Group chefs will team up to create a fantastic barbeque menu that will be well worth your two treks around Gibbet Hill. Thirsty? Our friends from Narragansett will be on hand serving some of their new seasonal brews along with the classic Lager. Hi, Neighbor!

The Gibbet Hill Cattle Run & BBQ began in 2016 and has been held annually (except in 2020) ever since. Since its inception, the Cattle Run has raised over $230,000.00 for local charities. This event is fully sponsored by the Webber Family and managed by a team of Webber Restaurant Group volunteers, so all monies raised go directly to our designated charities.

The unique and challenging course, the delicious BBQ, and loads of fun have made the Gibbet Hill Cattle Run & BBQ an unforgettable community event.
