Hello everyone!
I know many are busy gearing up to help with the Houston Marathon.
Even if you’re not, please note that in The Woodlands area, there are events happening March, April & May that your help (if you’re available) will really be appreciated for:
- 2nd of March, we have The Woodlands Marathon (another marathon and half marathon, aid stations, SAG crews, ncs, etc)
- 27th of April, we have The Ironman Texas (crazy event that has a swim, 112M bike followed by full marathon run - we mostly focus on the ‘bike’ portion)
- 11th of May, we have The Woodlands Triathlon (this is a ‘sprint’ triathlon, nowhere near as grueling as the ironman, but still…, we mostly focus on the ‘bike’ portion)
As luck (or, poor planning, you pick) would have it, the Ironman is happening on exactly the same Saturday as overlaps with the MS two-day event. Now, I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from helping with the MS event, but, if your schedule doesn’t allow that, or, if it’s just too far, or whatever reason, I’d be very grateful and happy to have your help for this one-day event, that is the Ironman.
Please know that I will be helping both the MS and Ironman events with my map & tracking tools. Yes, I sometimes have multiple events happening concurrently.
You’ll notice that there’s not a whole lot of time between the Ironman and The Woodlands Triathlon, too.
Well, it’s a prime time of year for events, so they tend to get jammed together.
If you are interested in helping, please visit:

for additional information, and, the ability to register to be part of the amateur radio community that are supporting these events.
Many thanks, especially to those that have helped in the past!
And, whether you help in person or not, if you know of other groups that this information can be shared with, please do, that will be a great help too!
Best regards,
