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, the session is threshold specific. Running 4 minute reps between LT2 (aim for 10k - HMP) and LT1 (a steady pace) the session will be a continuous run at an effort around lactate threshold. Working above lactate threshold and to the top of your aerobic threshold provides a great training stimulus for all race disciplines. Minimal recovery makes this session a challenging, yet highly effective endurance workout.See you trackside 🤩 ... See MoreSee Less

Happy (Halloween 🎃👻) #medalmonday What a weekend of racing we had for SWRR. We kick things off with the Tavy 7. One of our championship races and a big favourite of the club. Our men’s team were able to reclaim the Ross Shield with some fantastic performances and our ladies team were second (helped by a 3rd place finish from Jeanette and a 2nd in age packing from Suzie!) Fabulous results - you all did us proud ❤️Next up at the @exetercct 5 mile and 10 mile Halloween events, SWRR came away with a clean sweep of podium places. Sam won the 10 mile event in 28.36 🏆, Amy was also First Lady in the 10 miler 🏆, Nicky was First Lady 👍🏻in the 5 mile event and Rachel 3rd 🥉- absolutely fantastic running from all of you! 👻🎃👻And finally Anita and Lawrence completed the Stroud Half Marathon in 2:11 🤩👏🏻 Fantastic results all round! ...
