As in the past, Bay County Amateur Radio Operators - HAMS - will provide communications for the Gulf Coast Triathlon. Hams will be stationed at each Aid Station to maintain communications between Race Officials and the race course. This provides "up to the minute" information to Race Officials to help the race run more smoothly.
