About This Race
The Crater Lake Rim Run Marathon is one of America's most spectacular but rarely-run courses — a loop around the entire caldera rim of Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US (594m deep) and home to the most intensely blue water on Earth. Formed by the collapse of Mt. Mazama 7,700 years ago, the 8km-wide lake shimmers an impossible sapphire blue far below as runners traverse the 2,200m-elevation rim with sweeping panoramic views on every side.
