The Perth Kilt Run Committee is demonstrating its commitment to the community by instituting “Cheering Stations”

for the Perth Kilt Run on JuLY 2, 2011.

The recognition comes with a $500 bursary to invest in a community project for registered cheering stations.

We challenge all the friends, family and neighbours of not-for-profit organizations in Lanark County to get more involved in the race by making their cheering station into a community event.  Volunteers need to get to their cheering stations before 6pm., get organized with music, noisemakers and costumes and stay in place until the last runner has passed.

 “A lot of people don’t realize the impact of having people lining the course and cheering runners on,” says Pam Fergusson, Cheering Station Co-ordinator for the Perth Kilt Run and beginner runner. “Having groups like this show their support for the Scottish 5 mile run makes a great impression on the runners coming from outside of Perth. It shows how much the town welcomes the event and the participants.”

Cheering Stations are an important element in any run, but this one is especially worthy as so many have been inspired to train or have signed up for the Learn-to-Run Program at The Running Goat just because of this run.  Once they hit the 3 mile mark and start wondering “how much further” is the time that these encouragers and supporters are going to spurn them on! Race bibs will also have the runners name on them so the cheering will be even more significant.

We have a panel of judges who pass by all the registered cheering stations and they then determine who had the best cheering station. They judge based on loudest, most Scottish, originality, number of volunteers and ability to serve water as they will be responsible for the water station as well.

Any non-profit group in Lanark County is welcome to register. Cheering locations will be allocated on a first come, first serve basis – so it’s important to act quickly.  Registration forms are available at The Running Goat.
