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

• 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.
