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.

Happy #medalmonday After a quiet few days last week, we bounced back to racing this weekend with two of our favourite races! The Drogo 10 and the Westward League XC. We kick things off with The Drogo as this is one of our own races and an event that has grown in popularity over the years (and is often a sell out!). Well done to EVERYONE who took part and thank you for the support. We had a large number of club members take part with some notable performances from our ladies in particular who topped the podium. Huge congratulations to Laura for the win 🏆 and to Fiona for 3rd place 🥉 and there were a number of course PBs achieved 👏🏻👏🏻Next up round two of the Westward League in Newquay. Congratulations to Charlie, Rob (1st for the club), Justin (2nd in for the club), Jamie, Scott, Nicky and Jeanette! The next round of the league is in Exeter at the Arena (which also doubles up as the Devon County champs) on the 7th December. Well done to everyone who raced 👏🏻👏🏻 ... See MoreSee Less
