SEVENTH ANNUAL LADIES HAGGIS HURLING COMPETITION

HAGGIS HURLING RULES

The Hurling of the Haggis

Legend has it that women would stand on one side of the River Dromach and hurl haggis luncheons to their husbands on the other side.  Out of these humble beginnings grew a World Haggis Hurling Association with Haggis Hurling competitions held in the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada. The world finals are held in Edinburgh in September.


Ligonier Highland Games will host it's annual “Hurling of the Haggis” for our female audience members.  Meet in front of the Main Field Tent at 12:30 pm and we’ll kick off the event after the Massed Bands. Here are the basic rules:


  1. All competitors must be present and signed-in by 12:30 pm      
  2. Every competitor will have two chances to hurl the haggis (a 2 pound bag) for distance.  We will score your longest throw.
  3. All competitors must stay within the marked-off throwing zone.
  4. The first, second and third place winners will take home gift cards.

Have fun!

Prizes for each category:
1stPlace  =$50 Cash                     
2nd Place=$30 Cash
3rd Place =$20 Cash

PLUS WE WILL DRAW TWO NAMES FROM THE ENTRANTS FOR CONSOLATION PRIZES OF $25, SO YOU CAN STILL WIN EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE BEST THROWING ARM!
