From Boston Marathon Communications Committee
Volunteer registration for the 2024 Boston Marathon is open and ongoing. Volunteer registration closes on Friday, February 2. It would help their planning processes if you could complete your registration by Friday, January 26.

A few notes for volunteers:
Almost all amateur radio positions are single person assignments. The Marathon is not able to group people on a single assignment but will try to accommodate which segment you are assigned to in order to allow for similar start/end times. This year, the committee will be hosting an in-person volunteer symposium in March. An exact date and more details will follow as available.
Final documentation is generally released during the first week of April. Before this can happen, the committee will need the final logistical details from the various area coordinators for Start, Course, Finish, and Transportation. Where possible, they will release documents as they become available. In this case, look out for emails from the committee and your Team Captain.
As always, the Boston Marathon Communications Committee appreciates your help in getting the word out to prospective volunteers. Please send this to hams or clubs that you think may be interested in joining us on the amateur radio team for the 2024 Boston Marathon!
If you have any questions about the content of this message or about volunteering at the marathon in general, please don’t hesitate to send them to [email protected].
From Jon AC1EV:
I had excellent experiences with volunteering for the Boston Marathon. You can too! Even though this is a world class event and may seem like it is a lot to take on for a new or inexperienced operator, the training offered, and organization of the event will help you to have a satisfying and memorable experience. I participated in three previous marathons and look forward to being able to do it again. I’m happy to answer any questions about this, just reply to the post.
