This year the event runs on Sunday October 20th from 8am until it's done (usually before noon) and the course runs around Glenmore Reservoir (usually around the Zoo but with the floods it moved). Wrapup ceremonies to be held at the finish line. You'll be required from 7.00am until it's done on event day, about noon. All information about the event will be communicated via email with last-minute updates at the tailgate meeting at 7.00am on event day. VE6NOV repeater 146.760- with Tone Encode 110.9hz has been secured for the event and I have verified handheld coverage at 2W for 75% of the course (the rest needs 5W or a mobile). You will need to be equipped with one handheld and one mobile for this event as we are running multiple frequencies. There is a wrapup ceremony where prizes will be drawn for both participants and volunteers.
Funds raised from this event go to support Gorilla Habitat via The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International http://gorillafund.org/page.aspx?pid=183
