I was also wondering whether or not wearing a sporan would be advised?
I've worn my original Sportkilt (Hawaii State tartan) for short fun races. It gets a lot of attention. Mine has the pleats sewn down, and it works fine for running. I wear a pair of light-weight, shorter, compression shorts underneath.
I wouldn't wear it to any race I was trying to make time in, and I couldn't imagine wearing it with a sporran. Just my opinion.
