Fourth annual Perth Kilt Run set for June 22 EMC News – The fourth annual Lanark Mutual Insurance Perth Kilt Run is set for June 22 at 6 p.m. and promises to be another fantastic event with over 2,000 runners registered for this world record setting experience. With pipers in hand, Walker’s shortbread bakers testing their recipes, Doornekamp Wee Lads and Lassies race, a Perth, Australia challenge in the making and non-profits gearing up to shout and bang along the route, there will be lots to see and do for the entire family. Would you like to be up-close to these wannabe Scottish folks by helping distribute water and cheer at the same time? An important element of the Perth Running Goats Club is its commitment to the community. This is demonstrated through its annual Cheering Station Awards, a $2,400 fund used to honour the community for their support of the biggest kilt run in the world, the Perth Kilt Run, A Lanark Mutual 5 Miler. Non-profit groups are encouraged to form a team of at least 15 people, don their kilts, bring out the
noise makers, do a little Highland step, hand out water and cheer those lads, lassies and warriors on! Every entry automatically receives $100, while the first place choice for most Scottish, the most enthusiastic and the best water distributer will receive $1,100. Second place receives $600 and third place receives $300. “We have a panel of judges that run by each cheering station and rate each station; 2012 saw Drummond Central School take top dollar,” said Mary Stewart of the Running Goat. “Over the years we have had the Perth Curling Club, Perth Civitan, Montessori School, Harvey St. Gang, Northgate Christian Youth Group, Running Goat Ladies for Crohns Disease.” A lot of people don’t realize the positive impact on runners as they see the enthusiasm and excitement of the spectators. Perth has been truly exceptional in this regard, with six cheering stations located one kilometer apart. It makes a great impression on all the runners and over and over again we hear from seasoned runner hear how this is “the best race they
have ever run in.” To register your community group please contact Kim Spence at 613264-2946 or drop into The
Running Goat on Foster Street in Perth and pick up a form. Submitted by the Running Goat.
