Originally started by members of the Vedder Running Club in 2002 (see Race Origins) the race was run in its initial years by an ad hoc, volunteer committee. In 2016, to ensure the stability of the Around the Lake Give’r Take 30 Trail Race, the Around the Lake Trail Race Society was formed.

Today this society continues to encourage and support trail runners with carrying on the annual trail race founded by the generous encouragement and support of the former Vedder Running Club. The Race Committee is comprised of volunteers from the local trail running community.
