From ab1rl at brettcsmith.org Tue Feb 7 16:42:09 2017 From: ab1rl at brettcsmith.org (Brett Smith) Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 16:42:09 -0500 Subject: [BARC-List] Now's the time to register for the BAA 5K and Boston Marathon Message-ID: <3dbc0d1d-807a-0ff9-5809-e2dd2e077b0f@brettcsmith.org> Registration for the 2017 BAA 5K (on April 15) and Boston Marathon (April 17) are wrapping up. The BAA will close general volunteer registration on February 8, and amateur radio rosters will close as soon as we have enough volunteers signed up. People are signing up earlier this year than past years, so if you want to be on the team, now?s the best time to register. You can register for either event on the BAA?s Web site, at http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon/event-information/volunteer-information/volunteer-registration.aspx. When asked for your assignment preference, just say you want to work 5K Ham Radios for the 5K, or select your preferred section(s) of the Marathon course for the Marathon. If you?d like to work both events, sign up as a Marathon volunteer on the Web site, then please e-mail BAA volunteer coordinator Mary Miller and CC: me to request to be added to the 5K roster as well . If you can include your BAA volunteer loyalty number or registration confirmation number, that helps. If you have questions about either event, please don?t hesitate to ask me. I?m always happy to provide more information about volunteering. Thank you, and 73, ? -- Brett Smith, AB1RL Public Service Coordinator, Boston Amateur Radio Club
