AMATEUR RADIO
PUBLIC SERVICE EVENTS CALENDAR – 2025 (As of 9/6/25)
Information/volunteers: please contact Ed Ricco, N5LI.
Notes and comments:
- Changes from last listing: None.
- The Tour of the Rio Grande Valley, which ordinarily occurs late in September, is scheduled for September 28, 2025, but it will be a virtual ride this year without organized support, so there will be no communications support needed.
- I am taking sign-ups for all listed events. I am in need of more volunteers to reach the desired level of coverage for the Marathon. Thanks.
October 19, 2025 – Duke City Marathon. Albuquerque area amateurs have supported this event for more than 20 years. As in recent past years, the marathon will follow an out-and-back course from downtown Albuquerque north along the bosque bike path to Paseo del Norte and east to a turnaround point near Edith Blvd., then return. A half marathon and 10K and 5K runs are included in the event, as well as several walks of varying distances. We will need a substantial number of volunteers to cover rest stops along the course, to provide medical communications, and to shadow race officials as well as a few bicycle mobile stations and sag vehicles. Contact me to volunteer.
October 25 & 26, 2025 – Day of the Tread. Day of the Tread is a Halloween-themed bicycling event for cyclists of all ages and skill levels. It is a two-day event with a “Gravel Grinder” on Saturday October 25 and road events on Sunday October 26. We would need to field 7 positions on Saturday and 19 positions on Sunday. This is a well-run event that is almost 20 years old. It is a high profile event for Albuquerque and the courses on both days are mostly in the Albuquerque area. For questions and to volunteer contact Ron Guerrero KF5MTU, ron@ronguerrero.com.
