QST QST QST The Lawton-Fort Sill ARC needs the help of all available hams. 
 
The Comanche County Memorial Hospital, The Jackson County Memorial Hospital  
and The Duncan Regional Hospital are sponsoring a charity event called "The  
Spirit of Survival Marathon" to improve cancer treatment facilities. This is 
the  Inaugural Spirit of Survival, it will be an annual event.
 
The Racing events include a 26 mile Marathon through the Wichita Mountains,  
a Half Marathon, a Marathon Relay, A 10K race over Big Rock Mountain, and a 
Run  up Mountain Scott. The Mountain Scott run is on Saturday, October 14 and 
the  rest of the events are on Sunday, October 15. 
 
Help is needed on Sunday, October 14. The day will start early. Everyone  
should try to arrive at 5:45 AM on Sunday. Two meter mobile and handheld  
operators are needed. If you have the capability to go portable with a mobile  radio 
and a mag mount, please bring that equipment, we will have many busses  
transporting people and we may have a need to put a radio and operator on board. 
 
If possible meet Sunday morning at 5:45, October 15 at the LFSARC ARES  
trailer (a 20 foot white van type trailer) spotted at the now closed grocery  
store, Lawtonka Foods, near Lake Lawtonka. If you can't make it by 5:45, come  on, 
we will still need you.
 
To get to the trailer from I-44, exit at exit 45, go West four miles to  
Hyway 58, turn right for 1.6 miles and the trailer and grocery store will be on  
your right.
 
Guys and gals we really need your help on this one. It is going to be a lot  
of fun. These races are sanctioned and certified by USATF. Marathon people are 
 saying that this will be the most demanding marathon in the country.
