If your interested in helping out email Bob,
Bob Smith of the Ellensburg club is looking for some help with the Teanaway Country Race.
Here's what I got in his email. Send him an email if you can help.

Hi folks,
Currently, we're short a few people at some locations for the Teanaway Country races. We are looking to see if we can get some additional people from outside of our normal Teanaway crews, hence this email. If you've received this already as part of the Teanaway email list, I'm sorry for the duplication.
The Teanaway Country races are running from 5 am Saturday, Sept 20, 2025 through Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025 until 9pm. There are currently three races: a 50k, a 50 mile and a 100 mile race. The races start at Salmon La Sac Sno-park, out past Roslyn, WA, and winds over near US-97 not too far from Iron Creek. The race is under new owners, and their race website for the 100 mile race is: https://www.rainshadowrunning.com/tc100.html. The site lists the various aid stations we're looking to cover, a general map, and the various cut-off times, among some other good info.
Net control (NCS) runs from Salmon La Sac. There are two stations that are technical 4WD stations. We might need a ham or two for those stations, and if you're interested, please let me know and I can connect you up with the team leader.
The three remaining stations, two of which we are looking for coverage, are north of the 29 Pines Campground, situated in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, out past the North Fork Teanaway Road. Those roads are drivable dirt roads.
Here are the outstanding needs:
We need a second shift ham at Beverly-Bean Trailhead from 2400-0900 on Sunday Sept 21, 2025.
We have a team of two willing to cover Miller-Bear for the race, but I would like to get a third person so that they can get some downtime over the race. There are technically 2 shifts at Miller-Bear: 1200-2200 on Saturday, and 2200-0500 on Sunday Morning. If someone can come in and help with the overnight hours, we can spread the time as needed.
NCS will operate out of Paul N7ECT's Combox, which he has generously offered this year. As of now, we need an overnight team at NCS, and always use some help on the other shifts. I do have some volunteers for the day shifts, but can use dome more. Here are the shift times for NCS:
Sat 0700 1400
Sat 1400 2200
Sat/Sun 2200 0800 - Need 2 operators.
Sun 0800 1600
Sun 1500 2100
What is definitely covered: Iron Peak - all 3 shifts; Beverly-Bean - First Shift. NCS: single positions except for night shift.
Please let me know if you can take an assignment.
Thanks,
Teanaway Country Races, help needed.
