Anyone have experience organizing an MTB race?

I know I had come and gone quite quickly over the summer and I'm not really sure that I'm back...per se. I was notincing a post that VMB is now 501c3 and was wondering if maybe anyone knew how to run an MTB race a fundraiser. I am currently with Valley Search and Rescue, a wilderness search and rescue team, and we are always looking for a way to raise funds. Many many years ago, I worked with a search and rescue team out of lancaster county and we used to be the medical part of the MTB race just in case anyone got hurt out in the woods, and needed to be carried out. I honestly don't know if my search team would be up for the challenge or even what the insurance would be on something like this, but I figured that I would throw this out there just for the hell of it.
