Miles for Midwives 5k walk/run/roll is 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 Midwifery in Oregon
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.
Run in a Million
This year our event is promoting the global call by the International Confederation of Midwives for One Million More Midwives! A global petition calling on policymakers to grow, support, and sustain the global midwifery workforce — ensuring every woman and gender diverse person can access safe, respectful, high-quality midwife care.
