My radio club helps out on a number of bike ride events, races, and runs by providing communications in areas where there is no cell coverage. Generally we have operators at rest stops and a few volunteers riding, hiking, or driving between them depending on the situation, looking for injuries or riders with mechanical failures.
It occurred to me today that maybe a drone operator stationed on a hill might be able to fly a drone up and down some of these areas and report. I have no idea if this is practical--any drone hobbyists care to share opinions on it? I'm guessing at the very least, frequent battery swaps would be required.
