Crater Lake Rim Runs

This race is 3 in one. A 10k, half and a full. The race peaks at 7600ft and 3500ft is considered high altitude then you should know what you are in for. There is virtually no flat part of the course, it's either up or down hill. To finish is an accomplishment and the finishers medal can be hung proudly. It's the first race I ever ran in when there were no bathroom lines at the start. The communication prior to the race could have been better but at least the organizers try to answer your emails. Try to scout at least part of the course the day before. Even though they provide bus pickup and drop-off at a couple hotels I would recommend to drive to the start if possible as it took me 4 hours to get back to the hotel after I was done, that was really uncomfortable after a hard race. If you stay at the Shilo Inn meet the bus outside 10 minutes before pickup time. They do not come up to the reception area. You could miss it. California's forest fires almost impacted the race in 2021 but the air cleared 2 days prior allowing the race to be run. Temperatures for 2021 were in the mid 60's but warmed up quickly. Hey its the middle of summer!
