Thank you for volunteering to provide radio communications support for the PCT 50 mile run. The run begins and ends at the Boulder Oaks campground located a few miles off of the Buckman Springs exit from I-8. This is the next exit east of Sunrise Highway. The bulk of the runners will begin the run at 6:00 am (some will avail themselves of the Early Start Option at 5:00 am. A few at 4:00 am are on their own till they arrive at a manned Aid Station!) and the last runner should be finished by 7:30 p.m. The course travels along a portion of the historic Pacific Crest Trail that goes from the Mexican Border to Canada. This is an out-and-back course with a turnaround approximately 2.3 miles beyond the Penny Pines Aid Station. The runners go through each Aid Station twice (outbound and then again inbound as they return to Boulder Oaks)
In case of an emergency: Use common sense and the Medical personnel at your location. If you make a 9-1-1 call notify Net Control as soon as possible. If you do not have cell coverage Net Control has Government Liaison officers who have public service fire and law enforcement radios and can call for assistance immediately.
