Call for amateur radio volunteers for 7-27-2024 Richfield Urban half marathon

By Uncategorized

Most have not met me as of yet, I am Nick Schipp, the new CERT Coordinator for the City of Richfield. I am sending this email out on behalf of the leadership to request assistance for the Urban Wildlife Half-Marathon coming up on July 27th 2024. The race is set to start at 0700 hours. We are looking for volunteers to man posts along the race route to provide traffic control for the safety of the runners. I know this has been a pretty popular event in the past. 

  • Meet time will be at the Richfield Police Department at 0530 hours on 07/27/2024.
  • End time for the race is estimated to be around 1030 hours. 
  • There are 12 posts to be manned. Most posts will be two people
  • There are a couple that will be four person posts

The sign up sheet link is below. Please sign up ASAP so that I can provide the event coordinators with numbers and to plan out the posts.
