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 Isa 📣A speed focussed session combining 600m and 400m reps (all run faster than goal pace). The long recoveries allow the body to get rid of any waste lactate and the short reps allow for some focussed speed work well beyond goal pace. See you track side! ... See MoreSee Less

What a beautiful weekend!! Happy #medalmonday we hope you all had a great time racing.We kick things off with the @haldontrailrunners Forest Flyer - a fantastic trail race around Haldon Forest. The terrain is tough, but the trees offered some welcome shade for our members who took part. Well done all 👏🏻Next up an incredible feat of endurance from Jorge who managed 65 miles at the Hope 24 Ultra. He completed 13 laps in a time of 21hrs 50 minutes. Super impressive especially in such tough conditions. Go Jorge! 👏🏻 And finally, we had a fantastic day on Saturday at our summer get together. Although no racing took part (other than Parkrun of course), Jamie put on an orienteering competition which was a big hit, followed by a dip in the sea. Same again next year! ... See MoreSee Less
