Clan Kringle: An Annual Charity Highland Game and Christmas Celebration

Clan Kringle is the Foundation for Scottish Athletics’ annual charity Highland Game and festive Christmas party—an event created to give back to the community that supports us all year long.

This year, F4SA is proud to support Kilted Patriotkiltedpatriot.com — a charitable organization founded in memory of Joel Sim. Joel was a beloved figure in the world of heavy athletics, and Kilted Patriot honors his legacy by supporting Highland Games and athletes across the country. They were instrumental in helping F4SA host the 2024 Masters World Championship, and we are deeply grateful for their support.

The goal of this year’s Clan Kringle is to raise funds for Kilted Patriot so they can continue empowering and uplifting the heavy athletics community that Joel so passionately built.

While the date and beneficiary for this year's event are confirmed, the location is still being finalized. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!
