It was created by professional cyclist Burke Swindlehurst who trained in the Tushar Mountains in high school.[3]
The inaugural event, in July 2011, was won by the American professional cyclist Tyler Wren (of Team Jamis-Sutter Home) in the pro men's event. The pro women's event was won by multi-time Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes.[2]
