On August 6 th, the 24th edition of the race was held with the participation of leading Polish runners as well as famous foreign runners. This year's event welcomed about 2,000 athletes that were supported by thousands of people.
Communication at the event, to streamline communications for the organizers, was provided by the Radkom together with Hytera. Hytera PD785G and PD705G analog-to-digital radios were available for operation in VHF. Security of the communications was ensured by using Hytera's 40 bit encryption. The battery charging process was improved by using a 6-pin charger.
"Thanks to the radios, we were able to easily connect despite the difficult terrain of Gdansk's old town, where the houses are built very close to each-other. There was excellent communication within the range of a few kilometers, ", said Kamil Sośniak of the organising committee of the event.
