❤️ 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.

👕 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.
