Miles for Midwives 2026

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS, SPONSORS AND PARTICIPANTS FOR AN AMAZING 2025 EVENT!

Miles for Midwives 5k walk/run/roll was at 10am on May 16, 2026 at the beautiful Champoeg State Park, located halfway between Oregon City and Salem. This annual event raises awareness about the impact midwives have on improving outcomes in maternal and infant health and supports two professional midwifery organizations, The American College of Nurse-Midwives Oregon Affiliate and Oregon Midwifery Council. Please join us in celebrating the important work Midwives provide to women, pregnant people, and families by stepping out in support!

Support The Cause

Money raised will go directly to improving maternal health care in Oregon.

All proceeds benefit The Oregon Affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the Oregon Midwifery Council. 

Center For Hope & Safety

10% of your registration will go directly to The Center for Hope & Safety, which is a 501(c)(3), independent nonprofit offering safe refuge and support to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and human trafficking.

You can learn more about this organization via their website HopeAndSafety.org or via their Facebook / Instagram pages. 

Diaper Drive

One in two families cannot afford diapers.
Please bring new cloth or disposable diapers for donation to local nonprofit diaper banks on the day of the event. Donations will be delivered into The National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN), a national nonprofit established in 2011.
