Racine Racing Triathlon in Ft. Ritchie, MD

The Ft. Ritchie Triathlon in Ft. Ritchie, MD -- Sunday, Aug 4, 2019
The ARA is providing 2 meter ham radio communications support for the bicycle segment of the race. We currently have a number of volunteers required for the race, but still need four (4) additional volunteers to operate along the country roads using their car mobiles or handie talkie. The ARA has assisted with communications for this event for the last few years, and I have always found it a rewarding experience. Full disclosure: this event takes place at the same time of the Berryville Hamfest.
