Bank of America Chicago Marathon - 2024

In our 16th year supporting this event, we had our biggest amateur radio team of 135 support over 50,000 runners at this year's race. This year we witnessed a NEW Womens World Record!

MACC Trek 100 - 2023 

We provide support for the bikers who participate in this monster fund raiser event (More than $1.2 raised for Children's Cancer). We use APRS to track our SAG cars and radios to dispatch support vehicles to bikers who need help. There are 5 base stations and 12 SAG vehicles for this multi-route event through the country road around Waterloo, WI.
