Baylor Bearathon 2013
 This year's BEARATHON took place on March 23, 2013, starting at 7 AM, lasting until 11 AM. The half-marathon course, and optional (shorter) 5k course, gave about 2800 runners from across the state opportunity to test their stamina, and support the Baylor Student Foundation, as they ran from the heart of the Baylor campus into the scenic, but steep, roads of Cameron Park—and back. Click the thumbnail images here for more details and radio positions, or check out a slick video tour of the course made by the BSF staff.
The Bearathon Committee has really come to appreciate our commitment each year. For this event, we used the (BARC 147.16 MHz (tone 123) repeater (and 145.15 repeater or simplex 147.55 as backup).

Bearathon
2013 made its way into the record books this last rainy and cold Saturday,
March 23, 2013. In years past, the runner entry registrations were stopped at
2200, then 2400, but this year was allowed to continue until race day and topped
2800. This year’s race was marred by the death of a 21-year old Baylor student
who died suddenly just feet away from the finish line. Despite this, the HOTARC
Communication team did an outstanding job (as usual) with only a few hiccups. Working
on activities like the Bearathon helps us learn how to handle unforeseen
problems when they arise.
I would personally like to thank all the members who gave their time and talents to make the communications on this race a success. Those participating were:
