Half
Marathon and Drop Top 10K - June xx Map of the course Marathon position details Two operators will be stationed at each aid stop, there are 7, not including the start\finish line. Ideally at least one of the operators should be either first aid/or CERT trained. We will also be placing an operator with the ambulance. Amateur radio will be used for course communication, but if you have one, bring a FRS with you to communicate within your aid location. We will be asking for volunteers from the local CERT community as well as ARES Please bring the following: • 2M hand held radio with ear plug or head phone • Layered clothing, it can be cool in the morning, but heats up fast, assuming it is not raining • Sun screen • Hat • Snacks, lunch is provided at the stadium after your station closes down • First aid kit (optional) • FRS (optional) Ambulance chaser will also need an external antenna for whatever radio they are using. Also, if there is enough interest I would like to add the following: A bike equipped with APRS to first pace the initial runners, and then to follow the last walkers to the finish line. The biker would end up riding the course twice, unless there are two volunteers. If there is a bike, then we will need an APRS display at the finish line Event Website.......
