Kilgore Marathon Help


Jason Turcyn - KE4CPC
 

Tony mentioned the Kilgore Marathon coming up April 27th at our meeting last night, but no one shared any interest with me at the meeting. It's really pretty simple, you just need a handheld radio and a position on the course where you can be eyes and ears for our race coordinator. You will usually report the first racer by you, the last racer by you and then any unusual or emergency conditions that arise between them. If you've not done an exercise like this before, it's truly rewarding! If you do not have a radio but would like to participate, please come along and I will loan out one of my radios to you!

So with that I am asking, is anyone interested in working the Kilgore Marathon on Saturday April 27th? I believe the race begins at 8AM and the last racer will probably be through the final checkpoint by 8:45 at the latest. I will double-check on times because that's not confirmed yet, I am just estimating based on previous events I have worked.

Thanks in advance and 73s

According to Kayla, the organizer:
The race itself starts at 8:30AM as in when we say "GO!" So expect to be in position by then. You'll get a detailed map and instruction closer to the time!

And I have you as Tentative.


Also: If anyone is interested in assisting in the event in Henderson next weekend, visit the Rusk County ARC website and follow the instructions provided on the link
