Hello potential Baystate Marathon volunteers.

This year's Baystate Marathon and Half-Marathon race is scheduled for Sunday
October 16, 2022.

Amateur Radio operators have been asked once again to support the Baystate
Marathon and Half Marathon. This year the event is on Sunday, October 16th.
Our operational time period is from approximately 0700 until event
completion (estimated 1400). Our assistance has been requested by Lowell
Office of Emergency Management and Lowell Fire Department. The
communications team will be employing Amateur Radio to provide this
communications asset.

race public information booth the status of runners who are unable to
complete the race for any issue to any one is seeking this information.
