THIRD ANNUAL CLASSIC CITY MARATHON, HALF MARATHON, AND MARATHON RELAY

This is the third year that ham radio operators have supported this event. Organizers are expecting 2000+ runners to participate. That is quite a bit larger than last year. We need at least 16 operators!. A command center will be set up, and we will assign shadow operators to key personnel. We will need to be on site no later than 6:45 am. Please sign up as soon as you have decided to work this one – we need to know how many folks we can count on. This is a staggered race, so operators can leave their stations as soon as the runners clear. More details on that as we make assignments The date is Saturday, January 24^th, which coincides with Winter Field Day. Most of the operators will be able to work the marathon and not miss any of the field day events.
