max_performance.jpg WMA ARES Section Emergency Coordinator and WECT Secretary John Ruggiero N2YHK is looking assistance with this season's Massachusetts State Triathlon Festival in Winchendon at the Lake Dennison Recreation Area. This year the event will run for two days. Saturday July 14 there will be a Coed Olympic Distance Race from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and Sunday July 15 will feature a Title 9 Women Only Olympic Race from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Assignments will vary but will generally include various checkpoints along the route, start and finish line, and shadowing the triathlon coordinators. Times involved with each of the assignments will vary as well. Volunteers will need a dual band handheld with enough battery power to last the event, as well as refreshments and the proper attire for the weather that day. Be aware that courses involved have changed again from last year and cover more area involving even more hilly terrain, but a portable crossband repeater will continue to be used to service this event.

More details on this festival are available on the Max Performance website. For more details on the amateur radio assignments or to sign up contact John N2YHK, and please let John know which day(s) you are signing up for.
