The 1st Souris Multi-Sport Relay was held in 1986. The idea was to bring together local athletes and encourage youth and adults to get physically fit. The route originally was throughout the country side from Souris to Fortune River and back to Souris. The route has now become more centralized with all three legs returning to the same starting point.
The Glen Deveau Memorial Trophy was initiated in 1993 in honor of Glen Deveau, who was a member of the winning local team for a number of years. The relay was coordinated by the Deveau Family since 1993 thru until 2006. After 14 years of leadership by the Deveau family, the event became part of the Souris Sea Fest and is organized by a local committee Chaired by Marguerite Arsenault.
