George Wodicka Hook Mt. 1/2 Marathon & 5k

George Wodicka Hook Mt. 1/2 Marathon & 5k HOOK HALF MARATHON and 10K JUNE 16th 2024 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. Start time for the Half Marathon - 7:30AM

Start time for the 10K - 8:00AM

We will also have a kids race! The Hook Half Marathon and 10K in an inclusive event for all runners, regardless of race, religion, sex, gender, or sexual orientation. All are welcome to participate, and we look forward to seeing you on June 16th, 2024!

Thank you everyone for coming out and running yesterday. results are up and online and once I wake up a bit I’ll get some shout outs up here, I think we may have got a course record set yesterday and just amazing performances from every runner on the course from the first finisher to the very last. Photos are going up and I should have all the finish line photos up by the end of today, lots of photos are already online thanks to Bill.

Most importantly thanks to all the volunteers from Rockland Road Runners that came out to help setup the course and work the race, so many hours given of your time this weekend to help us pull this off.

Special thanks to my Wife and daughter who put in innumerable hours doing anything I needed, assembling medals, lugging water and tables and t shirts, and helping me setup and breakdown everything.

Hi Runners,
The Weather is shaping up to be great for the Hook! Something like 60 degrees at the start of the race warming up to the mid 70's as you run along the water with shade and a river breeze. I can't promise anything, but that sounds like a great day for running to me.
