Hook Half Marathon & 5K

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 start and finish at the North parking(Parking Lot #1) by the pavillion. This year for the first time in the Hook Half history we will have pacers!
This year we will be 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 years race will be held on Fathers Day — June 16, 2024

Our event supports Meals on Wheels in Nanuet and Achilles International.

Meals on Wheels has 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.
