Kayla -



I received this message from Rob Macedo, KD1CY, who is helping coordinate
communications for the 2021 Boston Marathon.



Communications for the Boston Marathon is provided by local amateur radio
operators. Due to Covid, the 2021 Boston Marathon will be held on Monday,
October 11th. Additional operators are still needed. Volunteers will be
able to register until this coming Friday.



Don’t delay! Volunteer registration has been extended for a final time and
closes on Friday August 6th, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Help us get the word out by
forwarding this message to your club and other amateur radio operators who
wish to volunteer. Most volunteers first learn about the event through word
of mouth. If you know new licensees who might like to join us, please make
sure to let them know about it. Please forward this to your club email
lists, announce on your repeaters and nets, etc.



Thanks in advance.



Bruce, K1BG

Hello to all...

Amateur Radio volunteer registration has been extended for a final time and
closes on Friday August 6th, 2021 at 500 PM EDT for the 125th anniversary
of the Boston Marathon. Registration information is below:

On behalf of the BAA Amateur Radio Communications Committee, we hope
everyone has stayed safe and healthy through the COVID-19 pandemic. After
last year’s race was moved to a virtual only event, we are now approaching
the 125th live running of the Boston Marathon.

Volunteer registration has been open for the Marathon since Wednesday June
16, 2021 at 10:00 AM and the Amateur Radio volunteer registration deadline
has been extended one final time to Friday August 6th, 2021 at 500 PM EDT.
The race itself is taking place on Monday, October 11, 2021.

For Returning Volunteers:
The BAA sends out an email which provides you with a direct link once
registration is open. This email will also include your loyalty number,
which is required for sign up. New for this year is that returning
volunteers will need to setup an account via the BAA Athlete’s Village.

For New Volunteers:
If you haven't previously volunteered, or have a friend who would like to
volunteer, please go directly to the Volunteer Registration page and follow
the instructions for new volunteers which will include setup of an account
via the BAA Athlete’s Village.

Volunteer registration link can be seen at the following link:

Don’t delay! Volunteer registration has been extended for a final time and
closes on Friday August 6th, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. Help us get the word out by
forwarding this message to your club and other amateur radio operators who
wish to volunteer. Most volunteers first learn about the event through word
of mouth. If you know new licensees who might like to join us, please make
sure to let them know about it. Even just a quick mention at your club
meeting can be a big help.

We understand that with the COVID-19 pandemic ongoing and the continued
fluid situation on how it will affect the 2021 Boston Marathon, you may
have questions about requirements and what COVID mitigations will be
required for volunteers. If you have any questions regarding COVID
mitigations, about the upcoming volunteer registration period, or the 2021
Marathon generally, please get in touch anytime. Volunteering at the
Marathon is a big job and we appreciate the time and effort everyone puts
into it. We’re happy to do what we can to make your work fun, comfortable,
and effective. With respect to COVID-19 mitigations, we will do our best to
answer questions but appreciate everyone’s patience, flexibility, and
understanding that mitigation efforts and plans remain very fluid and could
change based on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic as we get closer to the
fall.

We look forward to seeing everyone again soon.

Thank you, and 73,
Boston Marathon Communications Committee
