National Marathon Saturday

The National Marathon is tomorrow.  This event begins and ends at RFK Stadium.  In previous years, most of the good listening was found on the DC trunked system and amateur radio.  Surprisingly, the race organizers have not used two-way radio since the marathon began in 2006.  Here are some notes from last year:

2096 DCFD Special Events 1 (primary)
2112 DCFD Special Events 2
