On September 11th, 1297, Andrew Moray and "Braveheart" William Wallace led their Scottish countrymen to victory in the first battle for Scottish Independence against England at Stirling Bridge over the River Forth. After the events of September 11th, 2001, we here in the United States now celebrate September 11th as Patriot Day. A fitting coincidence that the Scottish Patriots fighting alongside Braveheart also likely celebrated September 11th as a day of great patriotism!

Kicking off the Inaugural Sherman Celtic Festival and Highland Games will be the Braveheart 5K Race to Stirling Bridge and the Rob Roy Fun Run/Walk (1M). The event will be a cross-country or steeple chase style run around the event grounds (Texoma Home Health 5901 S. US 75 Sherman, TX 75090).

Entry fee for the Braveheart Race is $25 and includes an event t-shirt, admission to the Inaugural Sherman Celtic Festival and Highland Games, and division awards.

Special prizes awarded to the first male and female finishers wearing a kilt. Best dressed Highland runner prize will also be awarded.
