MedWAR 2026 could not have happened without our amazing volunteers! We wanted to give a special thank you for everyone’s adaptability and willingness to be flexible with us as we met the needs of the day. Special shoutout to Nathan, Francesco and CJ for their problem-solving and willingness to literally go the extra mile (or 9)! Volunteers help support the race as mock patients or proctors, food preparation, and maintaining base camp all to ensure a successful event. THANK YOU!
