About Krugersdorp Road Runners

More Than a Running Club

At Krugersdorp Road Runners (KRR), we believe running is about more than kilometres—it’s about friendship, support, and belonging. Whether you’re an experienced marathon runner, a beginner, a walker, or a family member cheering from the sidelines, you’ll always find a place in our community.

Our motto says it all: “KRR means never running alone.”

A Family-Oriented Club

We are proud to be a family-friendly club where everyone is welcome. Many of our social events are designed to include partners, children, and supporters, creating an environment where lasting friendships are built both on and off the road.

Club Runs & Time Trials

Regular club runs are organised throughout the year, especially when there are no nearby races. Members are kept informed through our WhatsApp groups, Facebook page, and announcements during our weekly Time Trials.

Our weekly Time Trials are suitable for runners of all abilities and provide a fun, supportive way to track your progress while enjoying the company of fellow members.

Monthly Social Events

Being part of KRR is about more than training.

Every month we host social gatherings that bring our members together:

  • Mid-month Bring & Braai after our Thursday Time Trial.

  • Quarterly End-of-Month Light Dinner, where club members enjoy a complimentary meal together after Time Trial.

These evenings are a favourite among members and are a great opportunity to relax, celebrate achievements, and welcome new faces.

Our Signature Club Races

KRR proudly hosts two popular annual races:

Berg-en-Dal

15 km & 5 km • January

A challenging and scenic start to the racing calendar that has become a favourite among runners across Gauteng.

Cradle Race

21 km, 10 km & 5 km • April

One of the West Rand’s premier road races, taking runners through the beautiful Cradle area.

Our members proudly volunteer to make these races a success. As hosts, members assist with race organisation, water tables, marshalling, registration, and support rather than competing on race day. Special club races are organised before or after these events so members can still earn participation medals.

Event Races

Throughout the year we support several major races where KRR members come together to race, support one another, and represent the club.

These include:

  • March – Om Die Dam (21 km & 50 km)

  • April – Loskop (21 km & 50 km)

Our club gazebo serves as a meeting point where members, family, and supporters can gather before and after the race, with refreshments often available.

Our Comrades Tradition

Comrades Marathon holds a special place in the heart of our club.

Each year we celebrate our Comrades runners with special pre-race and post-race functions, recognising the dedication, commitment, and achievements of every athlete who takes on The Ultimate Human Race.

Whether it’s your first Comrades or your twentieth, you’ll have the full support of the KRR family.

Giving Back to Our Community

KRR believes in making a positive impact beyond running.

Throughout the year we host and support community initiatives, including:

  • Interclub: Supporting west rand running club on their time trials. 

  • Community funraising: Back to school, collecting items to donate to schools so kids can start the year of with everything they need. 

  • Community fundraising: Cleaning for Ebbies, as a club we collected varias cleaning supplies for Ebenhaeser Primary.

  • Charity projects and community engagement initiatives.

Our goal is to inspire healthier lifestyles while strengthening our local community.
