The annual Dirty 30 running race was held on Friday, June 3, 2022 in Golden Gate Canyon State Park in the foothills to the west of Golden, CO. Colorado ARES R1D5 provided support of the Colorado Auxcomm supported event by providing radio operators in the Rocky Mountain Ham Radio’s communications trailer, several aid stations along the course and support of parking management. The challenging race held in the mountainous area is not only challenging for the runners, but also presents communications challenges. A few heavy rain showers with small hail and lightning also presented challenges in the afternoon.
