Manitoba Marathon, Sunday 15 June 2025

The 2025 Manitoba Marathon will be Sunday 15 JUNE 2025.
We currently need at least eighty-five (85) volunteers.

We need a completed new registration form from each Amateur Radio volunteer every year regardless of what Amateur organization they belong to.

New Amateur operators will be paired up with Amateurs experienced with the event. Amateur Radio volunteers must agree to abide by the Manitoba Marathon Code of Conduct for volunteers.
Thanks to Dave VE4DJS for keeping track of the volunteer registrations again.

The 2025 Amateur Radio Group Volunteer Briefing is Monday 09 June 2025 19:00h at the Crescentwood Community Club 1170 Corydon Avenue, Winnipeg (See Map 24 D2 in the Sherlock Map Book).

Although the briefing starts at 1900h we will begin distribution of race information, documentation, volunteer t-shirts and pre-arranged equipment loans at 18:15h.
If you register as an Amateur Radio volunteer and cannot attend the 09 JUNE briefing please let me know in advance who will be attending to pick up your briefing materials and volunteer t-shirt.

There will be an additional Medical Team briefing on another date for those assigning to the medical side.

We need all borrowed equipment returned as soon as possible. On Race Day loaner traffic vests & HTs should be turned over to the Course Closing Vehicle as it passes by (it is manned by Amateurs).
