The race first ran in 2009 and is the brainchild of Anthony Taylor and Dick Kearn and the Trail Running Association.

The race only runs every 2 years and has run 4 times now with an average 30-40% finish rate over the years, this is despite the calibre of experienced runner that step onto the start line.
