Committee
The first La Ruta Maya Belize River Challenge was organized by the Harrison Family, who continue to play an active role in the race. Belikin Beer became a headline sponsor in 2013 and has remained a supporter of this historic event. In 2015, Love Entertainment Ltd partnered with the founders and gained exclusive rights to the race name and logo. The race is now organized by a team consisting of the founders, Love Entertainment staff, and support from organizations including the Belize Defence Force and The Belize Coast Guard.
