Communications Team (HAM Radio Operators)
Join us for the 25th anniversary of Bike MS: Los Angeles Coastal Challenge, an inspiring two day ride along the beautiful California coastline. On May 30 and May 31, 2026, cyclists will travel from Malibu up through Ventura, Rincon, and Ojai, covering more than 150 miles as they raise funds and awareness to support people living with multiple sclerosis. This milestone year brings together riders, volunteers, families, and the community for an unforgettable weekend filled with energy, purpose, and celebration.
As part of the Communications Team, amateur radio operators (HAMS) play a critical role in ensuring rider safety and maintaining smooth event operations. HAM operators provide essential communication support along the route by relaying information to event staff, reporting issues or delays, and helping keep all rest stops, support vehicles, and command centers connected in real time.
Communications volunteers may be assigned to various locations along the route or integrated into support groups throughout the weekend. This position may be a one day or two day commitment depending on placement.
This is an excellent role for individuals or radio clubs who enjoy being part of a coordinated communications network and want to contribute their technical skills to a meaningful cause.
Come join us for this special 25th anniversary year and help keep our riders safe and connected every mile of the way.
