In 1983 and 1984, the Los Angeles Police Revolver and Athletic Club
hosted a foot race across the desert and invited the
Santa Ana Police Department to participate as an invited guest. This foot race later became known as the
Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay.
 
The Santa Ana Police Running Team, has dominated the 1000 division (Department with 300-1000 officers) of the Baker to Vegas Challenge Cup Relay since entering the division in 2005. In order to make the team, each runner competes in a 10K run (6.2 miles) to qualify and only the top 24 qualifying 10K times are selected (20 runners and 4 alternates) for the race. In 2006, a second team was added to meet the growing interest in participation. 
The teams would not be as successful without a dedicated volunteer support crew which consists of follow-van drivers, timers, stage captains, stage catchers, transport personnel and a sworn volunteer to assist the race director.
