Klamath County Museum

The Klamath County Museum has been with us since day one, as we use one of the museum locations, The Historic Fort Klamath Museum as the start/finish area of the ride. As a way of saying thank you to the museum we have provided a substantial donation to them each year of the ride.

The Klamath County Museum operates three separate museum locations; The Main Museum in Downtown Klamath Falls, The Baldwin Hotel and the Fort Klamath Museum.

Klamath Trails Alliance

The Klamath Trails Alliance is a new beneficiary for the 2016 event year. The KTA works cooperatively with trail users, land owners, and others to promote, develop, and maintain a network of trails for non-motorized recreation in and around Klamath County, Oregon.

People involved with this organization are extremely motivated and provide much of the volunteer support for the Crater Lake Century. Take the time to utilize the fruits of their labor by taking one of the many regional hikes or bike rides in the area.
