[BARC-List] Volunteer at the Finish at the Fifty, Sunday July 3

[Brett Smith]

Hello everyone,

The Finish at the Fifty is a unique event on the public service
calendar. It’s a combined 5K and 10K on the evening of July 3. The
finish line for both races is the 50-yard line of Gillette Stadium, and
there’s a free fireworks show after. Proceeds benefit the pediatric
cancer foundation OneMission. It’s got a lot of energy, and particular
challenges for runner safety (they go up and down the ramps of the
stadium!). Given the size of the course, the medical team relies on
amateur radio volunteers for communications support and to keep extra
eyes on runners.

Recruiting for this event is always a challenge because of the date. A
lot of people have travel plans, which I understand. Because of that,
please join our team if you’re able. Chris Troyanos is the medical
coordinator for this event. He would always like to have more coverage,
and he would love to have our support especially.

To sign up, just write me back with your call sign, cell phone number,
and t-shirt size. Plan to be there from around 4:30 to 8:30 PM. All you
need is a dual band handheld and any accessories that will keep you
comfortable. Further instructions will follow.

If you have questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to get in
touch by e-mail or phone (859) 466 5915.

P.S. There are still spots open for the BAA 10K this Sunday, July 26, as
well, in Boston. Please let me know if you’d like to help out there too.

Thank you, and 73,

​
