St. Mary's Steps for Hope 5K Run/Walk and Kids Obstacle Course

St. Mary's Steps for Hope is a fall 5K run/walk held at Rockland State Park in Valley Cottage, New York. The event features a Kids Obstacle Course, with registration for children aged 12 and under. Team registration is available for groups of up to four, suitable for families, friends, and St. Mary’s groups, as well as for individual participants. The 5K starts at 299 Rockland Lake Road, within the park's grounds, not on city streets. The event raises funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, with all registration and donation proceeds supporting research to prevent and cure breast cancer. This cause is central to the event: breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally, and the race is structured as an opportunity to run, walk, and support efforts toward improved treatment and a cure.
