It’s National Volunteer Week, which means we’re celebrating all the ways people in our community have given back through Greater Midland and made extraordinary things possible!

Our Race Crew, powered by Health Advantage Credit Union, is a huge part of what makes Greater Midland Races so special and a true community effort. Helping people register and grab packets, assisting with setup and takedown, working along the course route, supporting racers at the finish line and cheering them on – and many other roles.

We’re so thankful for the ways our neighbors contribute their time, energy and talents to make our races run smoothly every year!

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, we are looking for volunteers right now for our full race season, starting with the 40th annual Dow RunWalk powered by Members First Credit Union on June 6 and the Dow RunWalk Expo powered by Soaring Eagle Waterpark and Hotel on June 5.
