Our primary mission is to monitor the course to ensure the runners’ safety and support. Contact the Race Operations Center (ROC) immediately if a runner is downed.
In the unlikely event of an emergency, runners will take shelter at the Water Points. ROC will control the net and give additional details as necessary.
George Washington University will provide medical support at all aid stations, and the MCM is using a 3rd-party event planner. All locations will be given in What3Words format. Please take a minute to update/download your W3W account and app for your handheld phone.

Start/Stop support park at Pattie Elementary, and a shuttle will be provided. Everyone will need a parking pass (information in a separate email).
Main Course
If you support the main course, we have permission to access it. Everyone will need a parking pass (information in a separate email). Parking on the course is permitted. For those with locations on the blacktop, please stay on the blacktop or pull off onto a utility road. For those in the woods, the road should be wide enough for you to pull to the side. Please be aware of the vegetation.
Return to Summary
We will use a repeater located at Turkey Run: 147.255+ PL 146.2 Hz (alternate 442.500+ PL 146.2 Hz). This is a standard pair for most radios and will allow HTs for the bulk of the course. You may use a mobile if you wish. A headset may be helpful in certain locations, especially where they pump the music up to 11[fn-spinal_tap]. Your vehicle may act as a good damper.
If we have repeater issues, we will use simplex on 147.525 (ARES VHF 1).
Return to Summary
Any questions from the public or the media should be directed to the Race Officials. If anyone has questions about Amateur Radio, our PIO, Tom, W4PIO, will be on site.
