Touch of Tartan Half Marathon and 5K Kilt Run

The Perth 5k Kilt Run - where participants run a 5k route wearing a traditional kilt - is now in its fourth year, but thanks to the feedback from participants looking for a bigger challenge there is now the introduction of a half-marathon length route starting at Perth Aerodrome and finishing on the North Inch parkland in Perth. It's a mainly flat on and off road route set against a very pretty background, and rather than wearing a kilt, participants are being asked to don a touch of tartan.

Entry is now open at www.eventfull.biz
