Timberline Events is also committed to giving back to the cooperating communities along the relay routes. A non-profit organization, Volunteers With A Purpose, Inc., was created to involved small local non-profits organizations with the relays by providing fund-raising opportunities. Since 2005, over $56,000 has been raised and donated to organizations in Colorado and Vermont.

The race director for Timberline Events is Paul Vanderheiden, who has completed 14 marathons, and 10 relays with his team "No Small Feet." In 2007, he completed his first Ironman in Louisville, KY and is training for his second Ironman this September in Madison, WI. He is also a licensed commercial river guide, having worked since the late 70's in California, Oregon, Idaho, and the Grand Canyon.
