The JFK Ultramarathon. is a 50 mile run.  This run is usually scheduled for the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving (November 20, 2010).  The run starts on Alternate Route 40 near the middle of Boonsboro, proceeds up Alternate 40 to the "Old South Mountain Inn" where the course transitions on to the Appalachian Trail heading south. At Weaverton, MD the run comes down from the top of the mountain and continues to follow the "Trail" to the C & O Canal following the Potomac River . The run then proceeds on the Canal Tow Path for 23.7 miles to the Dam #4 area, at which time the run transfers to the roads and proceeds to the Springfield Middle School in Williamsport, MD. 

The amateurs provide support for the run from the beginning to the  very end.  This is the first year that we have done handled the whole run.  The new station that we are serving is the one the organizers of the run have requested.

JFK 50 Mile Run - Support Team Directions - this gives the directions to all of the locations for aid stations as well as where the amateurs are stationed.

The JFK is an unusual race and thus is a lot of fun to watch and or work. Come join us in this fun!   Check in on the 146.940 (-) repeater

1. We request that you identify your location using the tactical call the race officials will recognize the aid stations from these names.

2. We ask that sensitive information (such as the nature of an injury or license plate numbers) be kept off the air. Please relay that kind of information directly to a race official only. Please request that mobile 2 or mobile 1 meet you to give them for information. It might be wise to write down such information so that its importance is emphasized and to help prevent a lapse of memory on anyone’s part.

3  Please follow the net procedures that are described in the Net Protocol  WebPage.
