[BARC-List] Register now to volunteer at the BAA 5K or Boston Marathon

[Brett Smith]

The new year is upon us, and that always means one thing: volunteer
registration is open
<http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/event-information/volunteer-information/volunteer-registration.aspx>
for the 2016 BAA 5K and Boston Marathon! The 5K is on Saturday, April
16, and the Marathon on Monday, April 20.

Don’t delay! Registration is only open until Tuesday, February 9. Due to
changes in the credential program, we won’t be able to accommodate late
registrations as in years past.

Both races use the same registration system. About halfway through the
application, you’ll be asked about your assignment preferences. Choose
“5K Hams” if you’d like to work at the 5K, or at least one other ham
radio assignment if you’d like to work at the Marathon. You’ll know
you’re done when you get a confirmation number.

If you’d like to work at both races, great! Just fill out the
application form with your assignment preferences for the Marathon.
After you get your confirmation number, e-mail BAA volunteer coordinator
Mary Miller, and CC: me
<mailto:mmiller at baa.org?cc=ab1rl at brettcsmith.org> with that number, and
ask to be added to the roster of 5K hams.

The BAA always appreciates support from amateur radio volunteers. We
wouldn’t have that great relationship if you didn’t come and put in the
work to make these races possible. I hope you’ll join us to help kick
off another great year of public service.

If you have questions about either event, please reply by e-mail, or
phone (859) 466 5915.

Thank you, and 73,

​
