The event was originally organized by a volunteer group of community members, outdoor sports enthusiasts, and area businesses that have been together since the first event in 2001. “The group of local folks putting this together have participated in many similar events, and really wanted to do one locally. All are very much committed to ensuring it is a well organized event.” The 2004 event was cancelled due to some logistical reasons and in 2005 the event was resurrected The Ladysmith Rotary Club became involved as the prime organizing group under the direction of Bob Walch.
