Welcome to South West Road Runners, one of the largest and friendliest running clubs in Devon. We were formed in 1984 primarily as a road running club, but since moving to our present location at Exeter Arena in 1992 the club has seen a broadening of its activities to include cross country, trail, and fell running.

We currently have around three hundred members including junior runners from age eight years upwards.

We pride ourselves on being as inclusive as we can be. We have trained coaches to lead track sessions, and run leaders to suit all abilities and running requirements including guide leaders for Visually Impaired (VI) runners. 

We offer a warm welcome to all, and count amongst our number a whole range of abilities, from those who want nothing more than a social jog around town, right up to county representatives and international Age Group Duathlon and Triathlon runners. 

We can also arrange ad- hoc marathon and half marathon training runs as well as progression groups for novice runners, or for those looking to build up their fitness. There really is something for everyone!

The club also currently organises three annual race events, details of which which can be found elsewhere on the website. We are also the only club in Devon and Cornwall to regularly enter a team into the prestigious Welsh Castles Relay Race..

Please contact us if you need any more information, or just come along and join us if you fancy a run.

📣Tonight on the track - coached by Victoria 📣We are continuing our focus on shorter, fast reps this week with the addition of a marathon taper session for those doing the Manchester and London marathons next week. The session will start with a 2km warm up, run at threshold pace (Z3 or an effort of about 7.5/10), followed by 10 - 20 reps of 45 seconds with 1 minute recoveries. These reps are not aimed at being maximal sprints, more leg turnover and pace. We would suggest that those doing a marathon next week keep the efforts fast but controlled with a walk recovery. For everyone else the aim is a fast effort (8.5/10) with a walk/jog recovery. See you track side! ... See MoreSee Less
