This is just an idea - not verified as official.
Mitläufer can also mean "those who are also in the race" - like the "water bearers" in Tour de France - i.e. they make a creditable effort but they do not belong to the elite.

joint contractor?
Mitläufer is not listed in the Romain dictionary which usually has everything. They give you Mitunternehmer as the nearest equivalent, = joint contractor.
I would certainly not be tempted to translate it as hangers-on or those who jump on the band- waggon, which is what the word actually means.
Good luck!
