September 6, 2009 – New Mexico Marathon. This is a one-way, 26-mile run from approximately Tramway and I-40 along Tramway west and south and eventually winding its way to Tiguex Park near Old Town. There are half marathon and 5K runs associated with the race as well. We will need stations at mileposts along the route and probably shadowing some race officials. The communications plan likely will include a need for several bicycle mobile stations. For race info, see www.thatsawrapevents.com. This event will be coordinated by Dick Powell, AD5CS.
October 18, 2009 – Duke City Marathon. Albuquerque area amateurs have supported this event for more that 20 years. The marathon will follow an out-and-back course from downtown Albuquerque north along the bosque bike path to Paseo del Norte and east to a turnaround point near Edith Blvd. A half marathon and 5K race are included in the event. We will need a substantial number of volunteers to cover rest stops along the course or to shadow race officials as well as a few bicycle mobile stations. For a course map and additional event information, see www.dukecitymarathon.com.
