FARA Communications Support for Cape Cod Marathon Weekend

 

The 45th running of the Cape Cod Marathon was held October 1 and 2, 2022.  A half-marathon was held on Saturday and the full marathon was held on Sunday.   Saturday's weather was driving rain, while Sunday's featured relatively high winds.  The 2022 marathon had 824 finishers.

FARA provided communication support for both races.  A crew of 25 amateur radio volunteers led by Barry Hutchinson, KB1TLR, was stationed around the course at the various medical and water stops. 

Unlike the Falmouth Road Race, FARA provides the primary communications support for the marathon. The FARA mobile communications trailer was used as the net control location.

Thanks to all of the volunteers who worked the race.
