The Superior Fall Trail Race is supported by the Boundary Waters Amateur Radio Club BWARC https://bwarc.wordpress.com/ – and spearheaded by Rick and Jayne Johnson.  If you are a licensed HAM Radio Operator and would like to volunteer in that capacity, please contact us and we will put you in direct contact with Rick and Jayne.

Putting on ultra-distance trail-running races in locations with minimal cellular phone coverage over portions of the race-course(s) is challenging to say the least.
