One of our regional elite ultrarunners (a guy) wears running skirts to the ultra he runs. Lately, a number of the other ultra guys have been wearing them too.

Sean Meissner, the instigator and all-around good guy, is the one with the orange Montrail vest (he's sponsored.)
Edit: But much as I enjoy talking to Sean at races, I'd much rather see Dev in that skirt. Yum.

Dude! Ask DETurtle, she wore them quite successfully and then you won't have wasted $60. I don't think the compression shorts are too expensive if you get them from Target or somewhere (I don't know where people have bought them cheaply, but I know they have).

Ah, yesterday I bought a Moving Comfort Skort. We'll see how it feels this afternoon. I might have purchased the wrong size, a medium, but the large looked really large and they don't come with a drawstring. I didn't feel like taking time to try it on in the store. Tried it on at home, and there a bit of a wrinkle at the top near the waistband, but I don't think that'll be any problem. I'm more concerned with how the shorts underneath feel. I hope for no chafing.

I'll report back on that tomorrow (I hope I remember). It doesn't seem loose enough to flap though. I'm not sure.
The one I have is a wrap-around looking one with enough fabric that one doesn't flash people if the flap flips (hah!), so I suppose in this case it would depend on how windy it is, or how fast one goes

OK, reporting back. They're not bad, although it was breezy and the flap did flip but only giving any viewers a bit more look at my right leg, nothing too risqué.
The compression shorts underneath did creep up, but not the way regular shorts do, plus they're not as long as regular shorts so there isn't as much fabric to get in the way. I still had a bit of chafing, but I think I'd have that regardless with razor stubble. I think some waxing should occur in the area for a more chafe free running experience.

I suppose they can look silly, but really if I cared about looks when I run, I wouldn't wear the damn shorts. The way they ride up between my legs has to look terrible. The skirt was more comfortable to run in than shorts. Tights are the most comfortable of the 3 options.
