It is our responsibility to ensure the wellness of the spectators and pilots<\/p>\n

\t<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hey, Jim! Thanks for meeting us! We’ve got a few questions about the towers. Firstly,\u00a0 How do you put the tower up, and how long does it take?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The towers are made from materials that are easy to put up and take down, so that we don’t waste time when we’re moving from one place to another. The towers are carried alongside the planes, and land at the site of the race two weeks ahead of the competition. It takes us four days to put these structures together, and another two days to install the wires and run tests.<\/p>\n

How many people work in the towers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Up to 15 people can work on each level, although that number depends on runners and guests. The upper level controls the race and supervises operations from a sporting perspective. The lower levels work on security; water and track operations management; television assembly, timekeeping, and the judges. Sometimes, when necessary, we can install a level dedicated to radio and communication.<\/p>\n
