3 walking events in Village of Nyack, New York

The BRUN Is Back for 2026

The Bridge Run (Hashtag #BRUN) is back for a fifth year.

When and Where

We meet at the Gazebo near the old South Nyack Village Hall at 282 S. Broadway, and at 7:30 sharp, we head up the steps to the Esposito Trail and join the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo shared use path across the bridge towards Westchester.

This run is for everyone, regardless of ability, not just the speedsters and marathon runners. The full distance to Westchester and back is 7 miles but you can turn around at any time. You can even walk if you like. The path is well-lit and monitored by security cameras and we always check that everyone made it back before we leave. There are bathrooms at the Westchester Landing, and also a short walk from the start/finish at the Rockland Landing.

The run takes place every week rain or shine. It will only be cancelled if the Thruway Authority closes the path, which they only do for high wind, ice or lightning. You can check if the path is open on the bridge home page. It can be blustery out over the water, so consider a wind-proof shell even if it doesn't seem that cold. We usually have refreshments after the run: hot chocolate if it's cold; water and electrolyte drinks if it's hot, but not every week, so come prepared to rehydrate yourself.

Register Once, Run all Year

• We welcome all Rockland-area runners, not just RRR Club Members. And there is never a charge.

• We do ask you to register so we have your contact information and to sign the RRR waiver which is a condition of our insurance.

• If you signed up in the last 3 years, we'll carry your information over. Just let us know if you want to be removed from the reminder e-mails.

• Online registration is best, but walk-ups can fill out a printed form.

❤️ 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.
