The company was founded as MyRaceResults.com in 1999 and accelerated by Silicon Peak, a company that provides the strategic, creative, and technical infrastructure to accelerate businesses in Internet time. On October 1, 2001 MyRaceResults.com changed into Global Reach Sports, LLP in order to accomodate expansion into other sports that don't necessarily have "race" results. Also, the name better represents their focus on boundary-less, grassroots to elite level inclusion within a particular sport. The first portfolio property, BikeResults.com started in 1999 with the kernels of experienced technologists turned avid Mountain Biking enthusiasts. David Ross, Geoff Elder, and Katherine Ross co-founded a company that would be committed to the pursuit of quality growth and development of cycling by bringing together all members of the community and treating them equally. They struck a goldmine of needs as BikeResults quickly became the largest source for online Mountain Bike Results. Instead of focusing on just the upper elite, the founders strongly believed that everyone's results should be included, all the way down to a once-a-year racer. This basic tenet still represents our core philosophy of total inclusion, regardless of ability or affiliation. In November, 2000, MyRaceResults.com teamed up with Kaleidoscope Sports and Entertainment, Charles Schwab and SKI Magazine to launch a second online sports community: Charles Schwab's Nastar.com. Over the first year of this partnership, membership and participation within the Charles Schwab Nastar Community increased from 39,000 to 142,000 racer days while 90 resorts in 21 states and Canada used the Global Reach Sports Event Management and Timing Software.. Nastar is the largest recreational grassroots ski race program in the world and is serviced by SportsPower, Global Reach Sports' full suite of race event and race results content management solutions. Global Reach Sports directs all technical aspects of this program including timing the races, calculating handicaps and national rankings in realtime, along with the development of the state-of-the-art web community portal. Web site design and development, e-commerce solutions, content management, integrative software development, and participatory community tools and features comprise the Global Reach Sports platform with the particular mission of increasing participation and services across an entire sport, starting with grassroots development on up to professional and elite-level performance.
