Frequently Asked Questions

Everything your event operations team needs to know about renting two-way radios for sporting events and marathons.

What two-way radios are best for marathons and road races?
For marathons and road races spread across miles of course, we recommend Motorola digital radios paired with temporary repeater installation to ensure full-course coverage. EventTone pre-programs channels for race officials, medical, security, volunteer coordinators, and finish line operations before the event begins.
How many radios do I need for my sporting event?
It depends on your event size and departments. A mid-size road race typically needs 50–150 radios. A major stadium event or multi-day competition may require 200 or more. Call us at 855-390-4347 and we'll build a custom communications plan and inventory recommendation for your specific event.
Can EventTone coordinate with Homeland Security and law enforcement frequencies?
Yes. EventTone has extensive experience supporting large-scale sporting events where federal and local law enforcement are involved. We program your radios to integrate with government agency frequencies using digital bridge technology and ensure full FCC compliance.
Do you provide on-site technicians?
Absolutely. For large events and marathons, EventTone provides on-site techs who are responsible for making sure all equipment is operating properly, radios are distributed efficiently to each department, and that expert support is on-hand throughout the event day.
Can you cover a marathon course that spans many miles?
Yes. We design and install temporary repeater systems along marathon and race courses to extend coverage across the full route. Our team engineers the communications grid in advance so medical personnel, course marshals, and race officials can reach each other at any point on the course — mile 1 or mile 26.
