The event has been promoted by the Brindabella Motor Sports Club and been running continuously since 1995. The rally first started as a club level event until it was granted NSW state championship status. 

 

In 2018 the event will continue the tradition of presenting a popular and safe event with the support of both the ACT Government and the local forestry. The event is run on a 100% volunteer basis with over 400 volunteers working on the event this year. The event will be bigger and better with improved spectator facilities, the return of the Kowen Settlement Spectator point as well as the return of some classic rally stages that havent been used in many years.
