Kirkintilloch Olympians
Kirkintilloch Olympians is a community-focused club set up to support members get the most from their running and their club. We currently host 8-10 sessions a week across Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, catering to different paces and purposes: whether you are after structured speed sessions or a Sunday social with post-run cake.
As a club we are committed to keeping membership fees low, adult membership is £5 a month, juniors are £3, and families are £8.50. The Just Run Couch to 5K and 5-10K programmes are free.
We host local races throughout the year, starting with the Lenzie Jog in January, our Kirkintilloch Festival of Running in February (three distances to choose from) and our summer Kirkintilloch 10K along the Forth and Clyde canal.
As a member you’ll get paid entry to district and national races, a club championship calendar, including transport to events further afield, and a monthly time trial.
The club funds opportunities with coaching development, supporting members to gain qualifications and lead their own groups, help sessions, or create training plans for individual members.
We encourage all prospective members to try before you buy – come along to a few sessions to see what the Kirkintilloch Olympians are all about.

Easter Bunny 5km Time Trial
Every first Tuesday of the month the Kirkintilloch Olympians meet for a time trial. The distance is just over 5km, with different routes for summer and winter. Using the same route each time allows runners to test themselves and gauge their fitness. Runners are set off at intervals, usually 30 seconds, and provided with an official time. On Tuesday 7th April there is the added incentive of a chocolate Easter egg for all runners and helpers. All members and non-members welcome.
