Events such as charity walks, fun runs, marathons, and open-air concerts can benefit from radio communications.

RAYNET communications can be useful for several reasons:

• The central Control can inform the other volunteers about  progress- last runner, returned, etc.
• The outstations can inform Control about progress- checkpoint closed, walker retired, etc.
• People can be informed about exceptional events- competitor overdue, etc.
• Administrative information can be passed, such as lists of walkers who have not passed through a checkpoint and may be lost
• Administrative information can be passed, such as the first runners/walk/riders through a checkpoint

RAYNET can also help you reduce your events carbon footprint by reducing the amount of fuel used by support vehicles

RAYNET normally attaches one or more radio operators to each point where the User wants communications. The users (such as marshals) are not expected to talk on the radio. (under the terms of the Amateur Radio License do not allow it.) RAYNET also has the ability to communicate over greater distance then PMR446 radios, CB and radio equipment that can be hired. RAYNET can also send data to and from checkpoints to finish
