I ran the Marine Corps Marathon back in 1996, my first marathon of three and had this patch but I did not want to just sew in onto anything, so I bought this MARPAT Sportkilt and had my work wife sew it on for me. She put in a galvanized washer in the middle of the patch and sewed it on first by hand and then machine stitched the USMC patch. I will wear this kilt with pride. A low shot of the Sportkilt USMC MARPAT kilt I bought the long-sleeved t-shirt before the marathon, I think this looks good for a trip to the bar or beach.

Very cool and looking good! You SHOULD wear it with pride! A friend of mine is running the Marine Corps Marathon this year.

I only ran the marathon; I am not a Marine so I would not be entitled the pride or honor to wear the Globe and Anchor.
The shirt and kilt work well together.

Speaking as a Marine... I like it!
Very cool! And it all still fits (including the shirt!). As a one time long distance runner (now a maintenance runner) I have to say... runners got leg! Kilt leg!!

This running season I plan on wearing my USAF ABU Freedom Kilt for my events (I'm no marine... a 1/2 marathon will do nicely, thanks). I'll probably wear my Air Force PT shorts for support. Anybody run long distance in their kilts?

I haven't run long in a kilt, but this last Sunday I ran the local 5 K Breast Cancer Run for the Cure in my Sportkilt, and it was fine. I wore tight running shorts under it. My wife wore her mini-Sportkilt over long tights. We got a lot of good comments, questions and smiles!
