Our Story

Each member, whether young or old, holds the potential to positively influence and inspire those around them. To develop and encourage these skills and talents, we plan events that allow our members to become positive, strong, and active members of the community.

Since its inception in 2013, the St. Mary’s Fall Classic 5K has served as a vibrant celebration of community, philanthropy, and health. For over a decade, our presence in Rockland County has helped raise awareness for meaningful causes and foster a spirit of togetherness.

Thanks to the dedication of our participants and supporters, we’ve raised over $113,000 for a range of local and national charities, including the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, People to People, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Love146, The Michael J. Fox Foundation, The Dravet Syndrome Foundation, and the Autistic Self Advocacy Network.

We remain deeply committed to making a lasting impact—both in our local community and beyond. Each year, with the help of our growing community of runners and local sponsors, we continue to exceed our goals and expand our reach.
