2014 Warrior

Perth Kilt Run June 21, 2014


The Warrior Class was a new addition to Perth's World Record Kilt Run in 2012, and it seemed well received - so its back this year! It will be an exciting challenge for the 75 participants who are adventurous enough to take it on! All of the details will not be revealed until  Race Day, but we will give you some clues as to what you will be in for.

• There will be several "Warrior Stations" throughout the race where you will be required to complete a task. Be prepared to experience the warrior life!
• There is a water crossing involved (thigh deep-pending height of Warrior!)

          ****IMPORTANT****    

               MORE DETAILS TO BE PROVIDED AT WARRIOR CLASS "SPECIAL PRE-RACE MEETING". Be sure you are at "Big Ben Horse Statue" before 5:45pm on race day (located at corner of Wilson W. and Harriott - across from Fiddle Heads Rest., edge of Stewart Park.         (Good luck!)
