The nOg Run Club invites you to join us for the 8th annual running of the St. Paddy’s 8K as we again look to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Kilt Run with a short 3 block run prior to the 8K!

We will be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the Largest Kilt Run with a short 3 block run at 1pm prior to the 8K beginning at 3pm. Don your best kilt for an afternoon of running and fun in downtown Raleigh. After the run, celebrate in Moore Square with live Irish music, food, and the first beer is free to all runners of the 8K!

Guinness World Record Kilt Run

The kilt run is a 3 block run and is open to anyone who has a kilt! Guinness defines a kilt as a plaid, knee length garment that buckles. IF YOU KILT DOES NOT HAVE A BUCKLE, PLEASE WEAR A BELT!

Runners in kilts will be recorded entering the "holding area" on Person St. at 1pm. We need to make sure everyone is on video wearing their kilt to submit to Guinness. The kilt run will start at 2pm followed by the 8K at 3pm.

FREE Kids Run

We even have FREE entertainment for the children! The 150 meter kids run will start at 3:15 on the corner of Person and Martin St.
All children will receive a medal after crossing the finish line.

Along with the live music, this is a perfect way to keep your little ones entertained during the 8K.
