Organiser's description
It's Back! The 11th edition of Perth's World Record Kilt RunA legacy of heritage & heart ..."the largest kilt run in the world." Click-Guinness RecordDate: JUNE 21, 2025 The longest day of the year. Carpe Diem! Time (times subject to change): 5:00pm - Royal Mile5:30pm - Wee Lad & Lassie Races5:50pm - Kilted March to the Start6:00pm - Classic 5-Mile
Course: Still pending, but awesome as usual. Stay tuned!Capacity Limit 1,040: Historical records show that in the year of 1,040 Macbeth defeated Duncan...becoming King of the Scots. A cap of 1,040 runners? "What's done cannot be undone." (5.1 MacBeth) Note: The "1040" only applies to the 5 Mile (adult) cap. BREAKING NEWS: The 1040 capacity was reached on March 1st! For part of the day the status was "SOLD OUT" (Thank you!). As 1040 celebrated the beginning of MacBeth's Kingship, we were given grace to extend our entry limit to the end of his reign in the year 1057! Even More BREAKING NEWS: With the new 1057 limit being exceeded in only 4 days, the Town has made a final royal decree ... the limit is now set at 1545. (In recognition of the birth year of Lord Darnley!)Kilt: It is 100% required/mandatory that everyone must wear a kilt to participate. But this year you are left to your own devices to obtain one. Many will have their own from past events. Some will pursue their own...perhaps from this economical source we have used in the past: Click-Kilt supplier . Or some may even try their hand at making their own kilt!Race Events: The Classic 5 Mile is back, of course. The Royal Mile also, but will be run as a separate event prior to the 5 Mile, allowing people the option to run both - what we call completing "The Sir Mike!" And the "Wee Lad & Lassie" races too.Entry Fee: (Table shows our price without the Raceroster vendor service fee)
