Why is it that you have to call people?
Do you have to reserve time? Or do they have to make sure there's a hole in the ice?

Did this competition ever get off the ground?

No, there is no interest in this. Besides, this requires trained people, you can't just jump into this ice-cold water.

There is a lot more snow now outside, so, a cross-country skiing langlauf competition is a better idea.
