We hope you consider signing up to volunteer and be a part of the Bemidji Blue Ox Marathon — where Northwoods charm meets race-day excitement! Whether you're handing out water, welcoming runners, or helping behind the scenes, your energy and commitment make this event unforgettable. We couldn't do it without you.
Date: October 24
Time: 10:00AM - 6:00PM
Where: Southshore Hotel
Description: Volunteers can choose the time slots and roles that work best for them. Help with setup, registration, judging, team support, or cleanup during your selected shift.


An event hosted by Northwoods Caregivers. Join volunteers across our community to rake yards, haul leaf bags, and help older adults stay safe at home.
Why This Event Matters: A clean yard may seem small, but for seniors it can prevent falls, reduce stress, and make it possible to remain in their homes. Senior Clean‑Up Day brings together volunteers who make a direct, meaningful impact on the health and independence of older adults in our community.
Volunteer Roles Needed
- Raking leaves
- Trucks or trailers to haul leaf bags
- Unloading leaf bags into dumpsters
Group Registration: To keep your group together, please have one person register for the entire group as the main contact.
