Every year, Amateur Radio Operators provide critical communications for Indianapolis Fire & EMS at the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade. Volunteers are placed at medical tents along the parade route, as well as in charge of non-emergency transportation for medical personnel and patients. Our assistance is greatly appreciated by everyone involved with the parade, and we’ve been asked to return again this year.

This year’s 500 Festival Parade will be Saturday, May 24th. Amateur Radio Operators will be needed from 8:30 AM to approximately 2:00 PM the day of the parade. SIGN UP HERE

Saturday, June 7th —– Hancock Half Marathon

The inaugural Hancock Half Marathon will be held on Saturday June 7th starting at 8AM with the last runner expected to finish by 12PM.  The run kicks off at Depot Street Park, guiding runners through Brandywine Park, Riley Park, and Beckenholdt Park, before returning to the finish line at Depot Street Park.  After the run, participants and spectators can enjoy live music and vendors, making it a fun day for everyone.  Be part of history by supporting the very first mini-marathon in Hancock County!


Radio operators will be stationed at the water stops and other key strategic locations along the course to monitor issues.  Amateur radio operators in some cases may also double as a course marshal directing runners, warning them of a hazard or monitoring traffic control measures. — Brent. N9BA
