These pictures are not from a runner's perspective, but from a Ham radio volunteer's perspective. Some of the pictures were taken just to show the layout that has worked, for ease in setting up again in subsequent years.

Runner Information - the board is an index, with printouts ordered by bib number, alphabetically, and place of residence. There is also a map of the course.

The Printouts - bib order and time order (the same info that gets posted on web site)

The SMS generator provides the power for the entire finish line

Setting up the Cook Shack

Food coordinator Leonard Klenk's daughter Sandy makes dozens of dozens of cookies that are extremely popular

Food is available for the runners and volunteers for the duration of the race

Food coordinator Leonard (KC6KUI) Klenk, his wife Donna, plus various family members and friends are a crew that really keeps things "cooking" (on right is Rodger Clark, mentioned above)

The Cookwagon

The Cook Crew - I had to get this picture while they were all close by, so Leonard, Donna, and Sandy aren't in the picture.

Race Director, Ken Hamada and Official Timekeeper, Andy Morehead

Teardown
The next series of pictures is the teardown of the phoneline - Kathryn's umbilical cord to the internet and live updates. It's about 500 ft from the phone junction, and the line had to be run up through the trees and over the coaches into the radio shack.









Taking out the trash

Ken has lots of unclaimed drop bags to take home. If they don't get picked up, they are put in the trash. Let this be a reminder to the runners about the things they've lost.
