Job Descriptions
Director's Shadow
A Director's Shadow is partnered with a National MS Society staff member to provide communications concerning important issues and problems that arise during the event. Experience working a NMSS event is preferred.
Start / Finish
This HAM is stationed at the start/finish location for each day. In the event of a medical emergency, this HAM notifies the event staff so that they can prepare for the arrival of the cyclist's family (retrieve the cyclist's belongings, etc.).
SAG (Support and Gear)
  • Transport walkers needing minor medical attention forward to the next rest stop.
  • Pick up anyone who's simply too tired to walk.
  • Offer water, supportive words and a smile when you pick up a participant.
  • Pick up volunteers if more support is needed at a rest stop.
  • Transport food, water or supplies if a rest stop has a shortage.
  • Be able to effectively communicate your location at all times.
  • When patrolling the route, drive with your hazard lights flashing. Drive cautiously. Keep alert, and look for signs that might indicate trouble (ie: not walking in a straight line).
  • Whenever you pass a police officer supporting the event with traffic control at an intersection, please offer them water or wave a "Thank You."
  • Bicycle Monitors
    Bicycle monitors cruise the route with the participants, often in sections where the roads are clogged with walkers and vehicles can't pass safely. You are asked to encourage the walkers to walk on the left, walk on the sidewalk, and watch for tiring participants. All bicycle mobile HAMs are required to wear a helmet whenever on their bicycle.
    Rest Stops
    Rest Stop 1 is at the corner of Barclay Downs & Ferncliff.
    Rest Stop 2 is on Richardson Drive.
    Rest Stop HAM Operators provide communications concerning supplies and medical problems at the rest stops. When you first arrive at your rest stop, introduce yourself to the Rest Stop Captain and the medical person. Explain that you are there to provide communications with the event organizers. Very early during the net, Net Control will ask you the status of your rest stop. You then reply that you are fully staffed, have all your supplies, and are set up and ready to go (assuming its true).
