Our flagship event! The Dow RunWalk is the largest foot-race in our community and second in our region. We have a race for everyone: 10K Run, 5K Run, DRW DUO (10K + 5K = 9.3 MILES), 5K Walk, 1 Mile Run and Tot Trot. From our 1,500+ anticipated participants at our 39th annual Dow RunWalk (DRW) to the over 200 community volunteers this event is about a lot more than putting one foot in front of the other.

Investment in the Dow RunWalk is an investment in critical programs and services. Your dollars help individuals of all ages remain physically active, battle the negative impact of childhood obesity and provide a sense of connectedness across our community.

Your support also helps ensure entry fees remain affordable and participants enjoy a top tier race experience. While 60% of racers are City of Midland residents, runners come from over 83 Michigan cities and a dozen states. With a crowd diverse in age, race, ability and residency this event boasts an inclusive race experience and offers sponsors outstanding exposure.
