Club History
Kinross Road Runners were formed in September 1985. After the 2nd Loch Leven Half Marathon (then organised by the Kinross Tourist Association), Martin Mather and his wife Alison decided it would be a good idea to form a running club in Kinross and area. They wrote a letter to all the local entrants of the Half Marathon, and delivered it round the doors in Kinross, Kelty and area. The letter suggested that a local running club would meet a demand in the community.
Other founder members of the club were Terry Quigley, John Barclay, Jock Hargreaves, Michael Hughes, Graham Hartley, Jean Smith, Bill Nouillan, Alison Mather. The first meeting took place at the Tourist Association Offices at Turfhills, Granada, and it was decided to call the club Kinross Road Runners.
Over the years the club has grown from strength to strength. We now have around 100 active members in the club who participate in a variety of distances from 5k parkruns on a weekly basis through to Ultra Marathons.

Club Championship Rules
Kinross Road Runners operate four Club Championships which take place at external events each year. To be included, members must have entered the qualifying championship event with Kinross Road Runners as their designated club. Participants are expected to wear club colours when taking part in championship events. Only First Claim club members will qualify for prizes.
Club Championship Criteria & Scoring
You must complete a minimum of 5 from the 12 available races in order to complete the championship and qualify for any prizes.
The scoring system for the club championship will see your race times converted to a 10K equivalency and adjusted for course difficulty/ terrain/ conditions etc using the RunBritain standard scratch score (SSS) for that given race. Where no SSS is available, the race will be recorded with an SSS score of 0. The best aggregate adjusted time from 5 race results wins. (Just run as fast as you can and we'll do the rest).
[The 2023 WAVA championship will be calculated using these results. Your age on the day counts.]
Off Road/ Hill Running Championship Criteria & Scoring
You must complete a minimum of 5 from the 12 available races in order to complete the championship and qualify for any prizes.
The scoring system for the off road/ hill championship will be a first past-the-post points system; with 1 point awarded to the 1st male KRR & 1st female KRR to complete the race; 2 points to the 2nd; 3 points to the 3rd and so on. 15th male or female KRR and above to finish in a race will be awarded 15 points. Non-runners score 20 points. The lowest combined score from 5 race results wins. In the event of a tie in points the most number of events completed will be used. If that is still tied then head to-head score will be used. All runners who complete one or more races will be ranked, but your position will be limited with 20 points scored for each of the 5 you do not complete.
Pippa Coutts Virtual Club Championship
You must complete a minimum of 5 from the 6 available virtual races in order to qualify for any prizes.
Each month from April to September a different local (mainly off-road) running route will be designated as a virtual race event with the route to be completed anytime within that calendar month. Run the route as many times as you like, recce it, run it solo or as a group, whatever you like. Submit your best GPS recorded time over the route at the end of the month.
