Best Costume Award

Did You Know...?

...That wearing a kilt would get you arrested?

Yes -- but that was in 1746! By decree of King George, Highland dress was outlawed by the passing of the Dress Act, with the intent of suppressing highland culture. A first offense was a six-month in prison sentence; second offense was a seven-year exile to a work farm. The ban remained in effect for 35 years. Let's celebrate the lifting of the ban in 1781. Come dressed in your best Scottish tradition and you'll be eligible to win the "Best Costume" award. 

2010 winners - The Nordic Nellies.  Christine Fielder, Myrna Penny & Jackie Mazur

2009 winners - Mark Parsons, Oakville, ON & Brad's Braw Lassies, Runner's Den, Waterdown, ON

Race Kit Pick Up Instructions

1. You will need to know your bib number before you can pick up your race kit.  Click here to find your bib number.

2. Race Kit pickup starts this Friday, Jan 15th at 10:30 am at Foot Tools, 2013 James St., Burlington, ON www.foottools.ca and ends on Jan 23rd at 5:00 pm. You can also pick up after your race kit after 7:30 am on race morning at the registration area, Burlington Central High School, 1433 Baldwin St, Burlington, ON. To avoid last-minute hassles and long lines I urge you to pick up your race kit at Foot Tools.

3. This year you will receive a single-use timing chip with your race bib (and mounting instructions). Replacement timing chips will not be available on race day so please keep it safe. There is no need to return it after the race (but recycling bins will be available in the school if you wish to dispose of it). For more information and mounting instructions click here

4. When you pick up your InstaKilt we will give you 2 clips to hold your InstaKilt firmly in place during the race. Keep them safe. Replacement clips will not be available on race day. Wear your InstaKilt proudly on race day!

5. You can pick up race kits for others but you will need to bring your picture identification with you so we can record your name. We can't allow you to pick up race kits for others if you do not have picture identification.

6. We're going "Green" this year so no plastic bags. Wal-Mart donated 1,050 "Green" shopping bags for use as Race Kits. Please bring the Race Kit bag with you for the Baggage Check. No "Green" bag = no Baggage Check.

Help us "Go Green"

Recycling bins will be available on race day and we'd like your help in making our race "green". Please place your plastic bottles into the blue bins and your food waste into the Green bins. Together we can make a difference in reducing the amount of garbage produced on race day.

Single-Use Timing Chips

This year we will be using single-use timing chips.

You will get your timing chip when you pick up your race kit.
