The JFK Ultramarathon.
is a 50 mile run. This run is usually scheduled for the Saturday prior to
Thanksgiving (November 20, 2010). The run starts on Alternate Route 40 near the
middle of Boonsboro, proceeds up Alternate 40 to the "Old South Mountain Inn"
where the course transitions on to the Appalachian Trail heading south. At Weaverton, MD
the run comes down from the top of the mountain and continues to follow the
"Trail" to the C & O Canal following the Potomac River . The run then
proceeds on the Canal Tow Path for 23.7 miles to the Dam #4 area, at which time the run
transfers to the roads and proceeds to the Springfield Middle School in Williamsport,
MD.
The amateurs provide
support for the run from the beginning to the very end. This is the first year
that we have done handled the whole run. The new station that we are serving is the
one the organizers of the run have requested.

fun! Check in on the 146.940 (-) repeater

1. We request that you identify your location using the
tactical call the race officials will recognize the aid stations from these names.
2. We ask that sensitive information (such as the nature of
an injury or license plate numbers) be kept off the air. Please relay that kind of
information directly to a race official only. Please request that mobile 2 or mobile 1
meet you to give them for information. It might be wise to write down such information so
that its importance is emphasized and to help prevent a lapse of memory on anyones
part.
3 Please follow the net procedures that are described
in the Net Protocol WebPage.
