South Nyack 10-Miler

The Hook is a long-standing community half-marathon known for its challenging hill climb in the last few miles. This year’s Half will again start and finish at the Rockland Lakes North Parking Lot (Field #1) by the Pavilion. This year for the first time in the Hook Half history we will have pacers!

We are also incorporating a 10K race, as there are not many local 10K races. Like the Half, it will start and finish at the North parking lot. Unlike the half, this will be a fairly flat course with two loops around Rockland Lake.

This race benefits Meals on Wheels a local organization that been improving the quality of life for aging Rockland County residents for over four decades. Everyday they provide fresh and nutritious meals to older adults, while the daily visits provide a vital safety check and friendly conversation that reduces loneliness and isolation.

Achilles International is a global organization that endeavors to transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection. Their main program focuses on running, where they bring hope, inspiration and the joys of achievement to all. They empower the disability community by breaking down barrier to race start lines, and all the way to crossing the finish line.

❤️ About the Event

The Mother’s Day REXTRAVAGANZA supports:

Rex Runs Kindly & NAMI of Rockland

This event is about community, compassion, and showing up for ourselves and each other. There are no winners and no losers. Everyone is welcome!!

🏞️ A Unique & Historic Course

Clausland Mountain is more than a beautiful trail — it’s a historic Cold War site, once home to a Nike missile silo designed to protect New York City.

Today, the same ground that once symbolized fear and defense now represents movement, healing, and peace — a powerful setting for a run rooted in mental health and reflection.

💧 Aid Stations

2 fully manned aid stations total

👕 What You Get

All participants receive:

• Optional T-shirt

• Custom race medal

• A meaningful experience you’ll carry with you

🎶 Event Atmosphere

We’re AIMING to have live acoustic music to create a relaxed, uplifting vibe at the start/finish area — something that feels more like a community gathering than a traditional race. (If all goes as planned)

🌼 Why the Day Before Mother’s Day?

This event honors mothers, caregivers, and the people who show up for us — including those we’ve lost, those we run for, and those still fighting quiet battles.

• Run it for your mom.

• Run it for someone you miss.

• Run it for yourself.

• 🧡 Join Us

Come run, walk, or loop your way through a meaningful morning on the trails — where every mile supports mental health, sobriety, and kindness.

RUN KINDLY—RUN FEARLESSLY

The Piermont Fire 5K - raising money and supporting Volunteer Fire and EMS in Rockland County and the Lower Hudson Valley! Come join us for a beautiful walk run along the Piermont Pier overlooking the Hudson River!

The Piermont Fire 5K is an event to support, help recruit new members, and raise money for our participating Charity Partners. The Empire Hose Company #1 (aka Piermont Fire Department) created the event to kick off its 175th-year anniversary celebration. 2026 will be our 175th year serving our community. Over the years all of our mutual aid partners in the Fire & EMS services have supported our collective safety and with this event, we want to support them.

These volunteer organizations dedicate the majority of their time to responding to calls, training their members, and managing the organizations - keeping our communities safe. Fundraising often takes a back seat to other priorities and recruiting new members continues to be challenging. Membership and volunteerism are the lifeblood of their success.

Join us for a beautiful day overlooking the Hudson River as we support our local Volunteer Fire and EMS organizations. Let's help the organizations that serve our communities.
