Hey, GGGP:

If you are looking for an event where "wearing the kilt is encouraged," check out this link:

http://www.promotionevents.com/GreatKilted/Course.htm

It's The Great Kilted Run and it's a 5K in Seattle each year. In 2012, it's going to be in mid-August. The link has a bunch of photos and there is a beer garden at the finish. Sponsored by a local brewer who offers one brew called the "Kilt Lifter." How can you go wrong?
