The Harbison 50k director has reached out and we’re going to be providing communications again!
Here are the details you’ll need at this point:
When – Saturday, January 9th
Where – Harbison State Forest
Pre-event meeting – 6:00am at the Ranger Station in the middle of the park
Race Starts – 7:00am from the field in front of the gazebo.
Primary frequency will be 146.400 simplex – make sure you have a good antenna!!
Secondary frequency will be 147.330 2m
As mentioned in the past, you must be prepared for ANYTHING with this event. We’ve had freezing weather, flood, rain, snow, and spring temps in the 7 previous years we’ve supported this event. Who knows what 2021 will throw at us!!
You must be able to get you and your equipment to any assigned position.
Some positions will be able to close early. Because this is a loop run, once the runners have completed the 2nd loop past your position, you’ll be able to request dismissal from Net Control. For many of you this will still be well after lunch. For most of us, it will mean 2pm – 4pm.
The event provides a sweep runner, Runner 100. He will sweep behind the last runner THE ENTIRE RACE. We will be tracking him the entire time.
Start preparing your gear, drinks, snacks, tarps, boots, flashlight, etc. You’re going to need them.
This is one of the best and hardest events to work each year!!
