Run With Reilly to Rugby Park 2027
Kilmarnock FC legend Mark Reilly is lacing up his running shoes once again, and he wants as many Killie supporters as possible to join him.
To mark 30 years since Kilmarnock’s historic 1997 Scottish Cup win, Mark will run from Ibrox Stadium to Rugby Park on Sunday 23rd May 2027. He’s raising funds for two causes close to his heart: The Killie Community and Reverse Rett.
Mark spent 11 seasons across two spells with the club and remains one of the most loved figures from that cup-winning side.
“My time at Kilmarnock was the best and most enjoyable period of my football career,” said Reilly. “The club and the supporters have always meant so much to me, and I wanted to do something to give back to the local community in Kilmarnock.”
The run also continues Mark’s fundraising for Reverse Rett, which he has supported since 2012. His daughter, Dionne, was diagnosed with Rett syndrome in 2011. It’s a rare neurological condition that can leave people unable to walk, talk or use their hands independently.
“Reverse Rett is a charity that means everything to me and my family,” Reilly added. “Since Dionne’s diagnosis, I’ve tried to do whatever I can to raise awareness and funds to help support families and research.”
