Eight Schwab employees joined THOR’s Trail Adoption Program (TAP) to help prepare Swanson Park for the first NICA race of the 2026 season. The team tackled string trimming and corridor maintenance along the entire course, making sure the trails were ready for race day.
Several volunteers live nearby but had never visited Swanson Park, so the day was a great chance to introduce new faces to their local trails. Most of the group hadn’t met before, but working side by side outdoors quickly turned a handful of coworkers into a team.
When the work was done, everyone refueled with watermelon, snacks, and cold drinks while swapping trail stories and making new connections. The event showed how corporate volunteer days can support local trails while building teamwork, friendships, and community.
Thank you to Josh for organizing the Schwab volunteer events and to Eric for capturing some great video of the day. Josh is already looking forward to continuing these opportunities in 2027!
