I started the Human Power Challenge races in Portland, Oregon in 1999 and they were held every year through 2015. Ultimately they were discontinued due to lack of interest and participants- our last year we required more people to run the event than we had participants.
I think you underestimate the challenges in organizing and operating an event of this sort and especially one of the magnitude of the WHPSC.
