Back home and went back to check - PurplePen currently automatically converts courses to renumber from 1.  As I mentioned, this is not always an issue and can actually work well but I did put in a feature request that PP provide the option to select the original codes or renumber.  Perhaps if a few more people make the request it might happen.  It is great that many of the common applications are now adding functions specifically for MapRun.

A few suggestions so you do not need to edit the KML each time:
From PP, export as an IOFXML V3 file and then....

1. The Maprun console under 'Create KML Courses' function can be used by ignoring the map and 'Import a file'.  Select the XML file option and then choose the XML file from PP.  If there are multiple courses in the XML then you will need use the pull down and select the courses one at a time - click Use Selected' then back to the side menu and 'Save/Download COurse(KML).  Repeat for all the courses.  These KMLs will not be renumbered.  

2. http://lpb.canb.auug.org.au/omaps/ has a number of good web apps including 'Convert IOF XML v3 to KML (iofxml2kml.php)'

3. If brave, my utility is is available at

that converts an IOFXML to one or more KMLs (with the option to use the control sequence if desired).  It does a bunch of other things that are based more on my own workflow (for example, make an "all Controls" kml for adjustment in GoogleEarth then write changes back to the IOFXML.  It also has some useful functions to use with a KMZ such as shrink the image file within the KMZ, rename the tiles to match Maprun requirements etc).  Warning:  as this package is an exe file you will need to go through a bunch of steps trying to install it as Windows will warn you over and over again.

There are also some older converters that use the V2 version of the XML files and converts to KML (although my app will handle V2 and convert the UTM to Lon Lat if needed).
