The Big Melbourne Kilt Run on The Tan

  • Family and kids
  • Activity

The Big Melbourne Kilt Run is a fun run for a good cause, to raise heart health awareness and fundraise for the Heart Foundation.

Don't worry if you don't have a kilt as anything tartan goes. Wear a tartan scarf, ribbon, or clothing or don some Braveheart style face paint. There will be pipers and Highland dancers and listen out for bagpipes as you arrive.

The beautiful Kings Domain is the perfect venue on a pleasant Sunday morning as you run, walk or roll The Tan solo or with family, friends or colleagues. The Tan track is suitable for all abilities, from seasoned athletes to weekend joggers or walkers.

This is a fun event for all ages with a message of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and exercise for a healthy heart in support of the work of the Heart Foundation.
