Registrations Now Open for the 2019 Perth Kilt Run

Registrations are now open to individuals and groups to participate in Perth’s most unique fun run – the 2019 Perth Kilt Run. Held as part of the Armadale Highland Gathering on Sunday 6 October, this fun run promises to be the biggest and only fun run in Perth where participants wear kilts.

Runners or walkers can discover their ‘inner Scotsman’ across either the 2.5km Classic or 5km Warrior courses, before joining in on all the family fun and festivities of the Armadale Highland Gathering.

Part proceeds from registrations are donated to Headspace Armadale, Intensive Care Foundation and the Amanda Young Foundation. Visit perthkiltrun.com.au to register or for more information.
