ACT
ACT stands for Achieving Collaborative Treatment, a group dedicated to providing therapy for kids with autism spectrum disorders.
WTC has been volunteering with ACT's RACE program for many years. A few people pair up with each child and run with them. We run on the Lakeshore Path at Picnic Point. There are typically 3-7 different kids that come regularly, so it helps to have about that many volunteers every week. Also, you don't have to do commit to doing it every weekend, but you will want to come every weekend once you meet the kids!!!
The meeting point in the entrance to Picnic Point. All WTC members are welcome to come!
Summer Track Series
Summer Track Series is a set of community track races for people of all abilities and ages.
This is the biggest volunteer event that WTC puts on. The proceeds from the meet go towards equipment and subsidizing meet costs for the club. We need lots of help to put events like this on, so we greatly appreciate every single volunteer who can help make them happen!
If you are near Madison during the summer, please consider volunteering. The WTC Slack group and this page will have updates as more information becomes available.
Ironman
WTC has also been involved with IRONMAN Wisconsin, which takes place in Madison each September. Volunteers gather at an aid station to hand out water and snacks to runners and cheer them on! As the event nears, keep your eyes on the WTC Slack group for sign-up instructions.
Ainsley's Angels
Wisconsin track club volunteers at various community races with Ainsley's Angels, an organization dedicated to providing race experience to people with mobility disabilities. Races occur year-round and the Wisconsin Track club pushes wheelchairs at these events to share the joy of racing with people who would otherwise be unable to race.
Volunteer Incentive Program
"Community Cow" award to the Track Club member with the most volunteering hours through Track Club. Includes a Free Meet Registration.
There are also other prizes for members with volunteering hours.
