Herndon Festival and Race

An Annual Event

Starting in 2008, the Sterling Park Amateur Radio Club participates in the annual Herndon Festival and Race  held in Herndon, Virginia. Bud, W4KSN, initiated this activity and is the coordinator of the SPARC activities supporting the Herndon Festival and Race.

We set up an amateur radio station and operate on-the-air for the duration of the Fest. In addition, we provide radio communications to selected waypoints alont the 5K and 10K races. It is an excellent way to meet new people at the festival, make some contacts on the air, and interest passers-by in amateur radio.
