Update:  Thank you to everyone that joined us for our 1st attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record.  We had 1550 kilted runners!  Although this number would break the existing record of 1089 set by The Perth Kilt Run in 2010, they have resubmitted 1764 kilted runners for 2012 and are waiting verification.  This was an AWESOME first year and we will definitely break it next year! 

The 2013 St. Paddy's Run Green 8K will attempt to set an official Guinness World Record for the Largest Kilt Run! Here is your chance to enjoy a great race, party, AND participate in setting a new world record!

The current Guinness record for kilt runners is 1,089.  With your help we can beat that record. 

Our World Record attempt will be held prior to the 8K. All kilted runners will need to be in Moore Square by 12:45pm to pick up their wrist band and take a group photo.  The kilted run will be a 200 meter run (or walk) and starts at 2pm.  Registration into the 8K includes the 200 M run.  You can also register for only the 200 M run which includes a tech shirt and free beer (21+).

KILT REQUIREMENTS:  PLAID, KNEE LENGTH GARMENT THAT BUCKLES ON THE SIDE.  IF YOUR KILT DOES NOT HAVE A BUCKLE, PLEASE WEAR A BELT.  IF YOU PURCHASED A KILT WITH REGISTRATION, PLEASE PLAN ON WEARING A BELT!
