Location: Hill Country State Natural Area – Bandera, Texas
Description:
The Cactus Rose 100 is a 100 mile Ultra-Marathon held on the toughest trails at the Hill Country State Natural Area in Bandera, TX. In conjunction with the 100 mile event, there is a 50 mile event, as well as the newly added 100 mile 4 person team event.
Typically this event has not required Amateur Radio support due to the small size, but we will be providing communications at at least two stations this year and utilizing our packet tracking software.
This is a remote environment, and provides excellent opportunities to test and try EmComm type set-ups, that may be utilized during a disaster. The event has a 36 hour time limit, and will require 4 -5 operators to adequately cover the duration of the event.
This is a good event for new hams interested in Public Service Events to get their feet wet!
