The event this year has been cancelled!
?
Due to the bad air quality (200 at park currently with worse projection for tomorrow), for the safety of all, it's decided that cancellation of the Rim Run would be for the best.
?
Thank you all who has volunteered to help out in this event.
?
Below is a letter sent by the event race directors to registered runners.??
?
2024 Crater Lake Rim Run Cancellation Notice.
?
Rim Run Participants,
?
It is with sadness that we feel that we must cancel the 2024 Crater Lake Rim Run.? The air quality in all of Southern Oregon has taken a sudden turn for the worse and projections for this weekend do not look favorable.? AQI numbers are in the unhealthy to very unhealthy category in all of Southern Oregon, including Crater Lake.?
?
Much thought and discussion has happened with directors and medical consultation these last six hours about the safety of not only participants, but also the hundreds of volunteers and spectators.? The whole goal of the event is to promote health and fitness of all, and it would be imprudent to expose people to? poor air quality.
?
This is especially difficult and with heavy heart to cancel this year¡¯s Rim Run, with the passing of the race founder Bob Freirich this past spring.? He loved this race and we always want to honor him through it with dignity and respect.
?
We would ask (plead may be a better word) that you defer your registration to 2025.? If you choose to do so, we will send you the 2024 Rim Run shirt.? However, we understand that since the Run will not be held, a refund is an option as it is not honest to accept your money without providing the Crater Lake Rim Run Experience.? If you choose for a refund, please let me know.?
?
We apologize for the suddenness of this email.? We know many have or would have traveled from near and far for this experience.?
?
Sincerely
?
Rob and Ken Coffman
Race Directors
