Motorcycle Volunteer Opportunities 2026


Event Recap!

Publix Atlanta Marathon
March 1st, 2026
We provided four Motos to support the Publix Atlanta Marathon this year. It was a 12 hour day of riding around downtown Atlanta, providing tactical support to the Race Organizers with real-time updates, checking the route, and supporting the Aid Stations. We were able to demonstrate that non-HAM Motos can be effective, when paired up with a HAM Moto or being directed via Mobile Phone by Net Control.

We got some great feedback from the event organizers:

"We all loved the motorcycle group...I loved their cool names like Jazzcat and Top Dog.  If you didn't get to hang around them for a few minutes, you missed out on some great people- they were fun, and warm- kind of making you feel like family."

"Along with the rain, we had to change the date and lost our chef to an illness.  You all were my ray of sunshine.  The bike team responded on how much fun you were on the course- and even our police officer mentioned to me how important and professional you all were.  Your presence was essential to everyone's safety."

"The motorcycle riders made it obvious there was an event going on and that made me feel better with the rain and reduced visibility it caused."

Save the Date!

Team Moto 2023 Retrospective

This year we made an impact in our community by supporting four events and helped to raise more than $1,000,000 for good causes. Publix Atlanta Marathon Organized by the Atlanta Track Club with support from local ARES volunteers. Scott, Sam, Sam's granddaughter and I provided motorcycle and amateur radio support to this event.  Next year, I may volunteer as a HAM capable cyclist, or use an electric motorcycle.   The course layout does not work well for motorcycle support at a running event, and I accidentally got funneled in with runners over the finish line towards the end of the day 😱 AJC Peachtree Road Race I volunteered as a Radio Operator at a water station for this event, while Scott became a mobile camera platform.  I had a lot of fun with the water stop crew and pitched in to help distribute water to the runners.  There was quite the party atmosphere going on at the water stops.  And I got to see Scott whiz by with a camera operator riding pillio...
