Our park is having a 5K walk/run each month, and the Ham radio club helps out at corners to make sure folks stay on route, and to help to ensure if folks are having any health issues, we can radio for help for them. Even though I'm not a ham (I call myself a "hamster" because I'm married to a ham), I help out at one of the corners...

We are the last corners the participants pass on their first time around, and then we direct them to the finish line on their second loop. We bring a speaker out and practice some line dancing while we wait for participants to show up -- the runners finish in about 15 minutes, and the last walkers in about and hour and 15 minutes. Some of the runners pass us for their second time before all the walkers get to us their first time around. We enjoy being out in the sun and encouraging the folks on their way!
