| The Raleigh Amateur Radio Society coordinated communication for the
first Raleigh Marathon. 35 ham radio operators shadowed key event
leaders, drove SAG wagons, staffed aid stations, followed Sector Captains
and ran Net Control on two repeaters. Originally scheduled for December
3, the forecast of a freak early-December storm forced a one-week delay,
to December 10, 2000 |

| Ralph Embry KF4NIR ran the communications show, with the assistance
of RARS Public Service Director Bill Cole KG4CXR.
More than 1000 runners completed the Marathon. And although it
had it's share of glitches, in the end it was a great success. Here's
the story in pictures:
