Contact your local ham radio club.  They are usually willing to provide
free communications to events/organizations as a community service.  They
use FM equipment which is relatively noise free.  The local club here
in Colorado Springs provides services for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb,
Pikes Peak Marathon, Motorcycle Enduro Races, and numerous other events.
