    I ran a 5 miler back in December in a kilt in Baltimore (Celtic Solstice run in Druids Park) and there were no problems. I had my ususal running shorts on underneath. I've never run in it during the summer - that's triathlon season. There was a group of spectators (mixed gender) that would bow and genuflect whenever a 'kilt' ran by. It also garnered the attention of some of the fairer sex who were also running.

    Happy running!

    One quick update....as to playing soccer in a kilt, I highly suggest an undergarment to keep the boys in check. All that turning, spinning and other such soccer-type movements are bound to pu the boys in a less-than-desireable position...I wore spandex shorts to ensure that I was never at any risk of injuring myself.

    As to the road-race, as long as you are in such a manner where you are able to avoid getting the boiys "pinched" between your legs as you stride, I think bodyglide should be plenty...

    I would DEFINITELY suggest Body Glide. We started selling it and would highly recommend it for running in a kilt. I would also suggest a 4 or 5 yard kilt so the pleats and weight doesn't throw you off at all.

    While I'm not a runner, I have done a quick jaunt to catch a bus. I would suggest you NOT run with a loaded, heavy sporran. It's like repeatedly punching yourself in the groin. HAHAHAHA... but SERIOUSLY. It was one of those situations where you were in a LOT of pain, but couldn't help laugh at yourself.
