1/2, KK (OOP) vs two villians

After having a break from live poker, here is some interesting hand, at least to me.
Played for about 3 hours at the table, Hero (white male mid 20s) TAG. Turned over only winning hands, bluffed couple of times, where both villains folded.
Anyway, two big fishes just gone from the table and 1 reg + fish sat down.
Not much to say about them, as they just sat down.
To THE HAND:
Hero (420) UTG+1, open raise to 10 with KK;
Villain 1 (500) HJ, CALL;
Villain 2 (168) CO, CALL;
FLOP: J 8 3 rainbow (pot 33)
Hero bets 22, both calls;
TURN: 9 (opens up a spades draw) (pot 99)
Hero bets 60; both calls;
RIVER: Q (draw missed) (pot 279)
HERO???
Should I check/fold, I believed that Q on the river is not a good card to me to bet, as I don't expect many calls on the TURN with hands like AQ/KQ. Sets probably would raise the TURN, as too many draws. Anyway.
All the comments are much appreciated and I'm looking forward to them!
Thanks to all!

Wp. Now check/fold river. Worse hands aren't betting this river.

Blehh, you need to work on getting the board to run out better. Tip the dealers bigger, maybe?
I think I would have preferred a check earlier in the hand, but since we have taken a b/f line alla way, I see no reason to change now. I think 76 puts smallie allin, so bet/fold 76, imo.

what is with that turn bet? I am either checking that turn or bombing it for overpot.
as played, check the river. call anything where you are getting like 6:1 or better

Thanks for your comments.
Well, at that time I've decided to check and call if HJ bets and no matter what the small stack would do.
Eventually the V1 (HJ) puts small stack all in, ie bets 76, and small stack folds. Now when I was calling I knew Im behind, what he can bet into two people there? 2 pair + I guess, or highly likely a straight.
So as Persianpunisher said "wp. Now check/fold river. Worse hands aren't betting this river."
Would that be an option to turn my hand into a bluff and bet all in or c/r all in. Or it's very stupid and there is no fold equity and T never folding there? And anyway what I have to represent there to get fold probably very narrow range, KTss or QQ, JJ.
any thoughts?
Or it's always a check fold/ block bet fold?

Raise bigger pre. You are OOP and need to define your opponents hand ranges, as well as shorten the SPR. Raising to 10 makes it too likely that you will get calls from all kinds of middling hands that will outdraw you postflop, causing you to lose a huge pot when your kings get cracked. Being OOP sucks, and it becomes even worse with the more opponents you are facing in a pot. You can almost be positive that any time big money starts going in you will be behind.
AP, I would check/call a small bet on the turn and fold to a big bet. Your hand wont be ahead if one of your opponents starts firing big into two people on this board.
River is an easy check/fold.
