Perth Kilt Run

The Routes

Both the 2.5km Classic and 5km Warrior courses are on flat, fully paved surfaces that serve as existing pedestrian pathways.

Dogs can also participate in the Perth Kilt Run! This is the exact same route as the Classic, however, we’ll have a separate designated start time for the safety of your furry friends. Make sure you select the 2.5km Classic (with dogs) option when registering.

Kilts

The City is providing a fantastic opportunity to own your own kilt by purchasing one when you register.

Fashioned with two belt buckles and velcro to adjust, these kilts are made of good material that will keep you warm while on the course. The kilts are measured in inches and it may be necessary to adjust within one or two sizes of your original pant size.

If you’re picking up your kilt, please arrive early if you want to ensure you have the right fit.

Child kilts: $25
Adult kilts: $35

How do I get my kilt?

Kilts bought online are to be picked up at the Perth Kilt Run registration area when you check in.

We recommend that all runners wear comfortable and suitable attire, such as bike pants or shorts, to wear underneath your kilt.
