The 10th Anniversary of Perth's World Record Kilt Run!
Important things to note:
1. August 17: We have moved to a new month...a miraculous turn of events! Carpe Diem!
2. New Course: This may be the best one yet! Six crossings of the Tay River, Historic sites, and a wee taste of the Highlands! Come run again - for the first time!
3. NEW Cap Limit 1,743: In April 2019, we just received confirmation that our 2016 Perth Kilt Run has set the new official Guinness World Record of 3,670! Click Here Guinness Record In recognition, we have increased our cap to the level of our 2nd Guinness record set in 2012 (1,743)!
4. Kilt Orders: Sorry but we are not able to provide an option to order when you register this year. We do provide information below, where you may find a kilt on your own - if needed. (The least expensive (starting at $24usd, & $16 youth) for individual orders we have found, is Click Here - Cheap Kilt Option .) Good luck
5. Freedom Fest: Freedom! The chilling cry of Wallace on the battlefield click here for a refresher! Perth Kilt Run is now part of the 1st Freedom Fest - a music lineup that includes two Juno Award winners!
Alba gu bràth! An deireadh!!
