Chicago Kilt Run 2011

**McFarkus** · 12th September 11, 09:32 AM

Auld Argonian and I are planning to attend this 3k event this coming Sunday in Norwood Park. It's a 'fun run' that benefits the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation and local schools. I went last year and it was a lot of fun. There's lot's of entertainment lined up after the run itself.

One of my co-workers just purchased his first kilt so he could participate. It will be his first day kilted!

It's September 18, 2011 at Trinity Pub, 5943 N. Northwest Hwy,Chicago, IL. For more information check out their website or Facebook account.

Anybody interested?

My wife and I will be there. We did the Chicago Half-marathon yesterday (during which I saw no fewer than four kilts on runners), so we're looking forward to something a little shorter next weekend.

That's great, Carl. I'm not running, just hanging out. Went last year as well. It's great fun!

I just registered...kicking myself that running it seems to be out due to some very uncooperative tendons...it's only a 3k...oh well...

I'm going to be a spectator. If you are participating, you can always walk instead of run.

Bump!

It sounds like fun, but I will be attending my regularly scheduled Sunday activities. Have a good time!

Well, I can't help with anyone but me. I set a new personal record for a 3k, but since I've only run one other 3k, I suppose that's not all that impressive.

Still, we had a good time.

While not exactly diced hose, my running socks were indeed red and black. That counts for something, right?
