The Twenty Fifth Anniversary of the Bethany Beach Triathlon, now called the Sea Colony Make A Wish Triathlon, will be held September 20th, 2008. With a new "Back Country" 25 mile Bike Route, and the other two venues, Swim and Run, all the help the radio amateur community can supply will be needed. Since this is also a NASCAR Race weekend in Dover, usual resources will be strained, and alternative resources will be needed. For those of you familiar with the event in past years, the new Bike Route, and an enhanced Medical Response / Treatment program, should certainly get your interest. For those of you new to public service events and emergency communications, here's an opportunity to get some experience, have fun, and enjoy a fantastic picnic. For more information, and to get on the distribution list for updated information, contact John Ferguson K3PFW k3pfw@arrl.net
