Canoe Marathon July 29 - 30
An Amateur Radio Operator is located with the official timers at each intermediate timing location. This operator uses a hand held two meter radio to communicate to their partner stationed in a mobile unit at the adjacent highway location. Timing and position information for each canoe is relayed from the timing point to the mobile unit and then to race headquarters in Grayling. At race headquarters the received data is entered into a computer where elapsed and split times are calculated and compared to previous course records. This information is then provided to the media for commercial broadcast. In 2000 for the 53rd anniversary of the race, the ARAHH will again be updating race results as the race is in progress direct to the AuSable Canoe Marathon Internet Home Page.
The ARAHH provides public service communications for such events as the Canoe Marathon, The Hartwick Pines Challenge, a 7.2 mile running race, the Michigan Cup Marathon and Classic Cross Country Ski Races and the Hanson Hills Challenge running races. In addition, amateur radio operators provide communication for the additional races during the week prior to the Marathon and the Sprint Races which determine the Marathon Participants starting position.
Marathon Race Headquarters is located in the Grayling Mini Mall and remains open throughout the night of July 29 until the race is completed on the afternoon of the 30th. Visitors are welcome, or you may call 517-348-4425 for updates or check this Internet site as the race progresses.
