The Crater Rim Ultra is held in New Zealand and takes its name from the local volcanic crater, with the course following the crater rim and surrounding mountain trails.
The terrain includes dirt trail, scree and volcanic rock sections, with pronounced gradients and long gaps between aid stations, so runners must carry sufficient supplies and warm layers. Volcanic landforms, grassland and open vistas make it a distinctive trail event in the southern hemisphere.
