Around the crater

The Blue Lake Fun Run sends runners and walkers around the rim of Mount Gambier's famous volcanic crater lake, on a course that ranks among the most scenic in regional South Australia.

With distances to suit serious runners and casual walkers alike, it's a community event as much as a race. Check the organiser's site for the current year's date, course and entry details.
