Fabrics

At the risk of being a little too "goth"... this would probably repel mud pretty well.

This one might fit the "feel" of the event a little better. Much more Roman Conquerer and less vampire-y: http://www.phazeclothing.com/product...-pvc-mens-kilt

Either way, you're sure to stand out from the rest of the crowd doing the event in a SportKilt!

Those both look long enough to seriously impede your legs freedom of movement to me. Not great for an athletic event.

I find it is not so much the length as the style - in my kilt which I made too long by not measuring the actual width of the fabric, just cutting it in half I can still vault gates because it is a reverse kingussie with deep under apron pleats - so it opens out like a bird's wings and folds in the same way.

Yes it is rather theatrical and I put lots of fabric into it, but making a simple kilt - just pleated onto a sturdy waistband with some hefty fastenings to keep it in place should create a suitable garment.

The garments which are rather Goth are being worn at the hips - they would be considerably shorter if hauled up to the normal kilt height, or even just to the natural waistline.
