Annapolis Strider Events
On a yearly basis the Anne Arundel Radio Club provides communications assistance for a number of events sponsored by The Annapolis Striders. These typically include The B&A Trail Marathon & Half Marathon, The Rosaryville Trail Run, The Endless Summer 6-Mile Run, The Cherry Pit 10 Mile, The Annapolis 10 Mile Run. The Metric Marathon, The Rosaryville Veterans Day 50K and The Cold Turkey 10K. Many volunteer hams are placed at water stops for the events where runners can usually get a drink of either water, or Gator Aid, their choice. Others shadow the race director, man the network control center, and stake out the crucial turns of the course and first aid stations. (Picture on right above is from the Metric Marathon)
