 Important Race Details:

This is a non-competitive event  and times will be provided at the Finish Line.  

Don’t forget your kilt!!  In order to participate, every runner/walker MUST wear a kilt that is tartan, has an apron front and a pleated back.  If you don’t own one, an affordable kilt ($16-$28) can be found at store.stillwaterkilts.com (check the Thrifty section). To be fair to all participants and maintain the spirit of the festival, we will provide a refund and deny race participation if kilt requirements are not followed. It's a fun run!  Enjoy the Celtic Spirit! 

Check-in starts at 7:45 a.m. at the museum and the race begins promptly at 8:30 a.m. A Bagpiper will lead everyone to the Starting Line!

RACE ROUTE:  The race starts at the museum where runners/walkers will proceed down County Route 6 which winds through beautiful farmland and past original stone houses built by Scottish settlers. The turn around for the loop back to town is off road and on the site of an 1830s Scottish stone home that sits atop a hill overlooking a pond and wooded area.  The race ends at the museum so participants (with their free admission ticket) can enjoy the Hammond Scottish Festival.
