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 📣The fourth and final session of our endurance series. Tonight you will be doing 2-4 reps of 1,600m run close to maximum effort (aim for 3k pace as a guide) with 3 minutes recovery. These long fast reps will test your body’s ability to utilise oxygen and will allow for adaptions to your lactate threshold. As with last week the main focus of sessions like this is quality over quantity. The recoveries are important to ensure lactate levels are raised and then lowered. As of next week the focus shifts to shorter, faster reps to aid those tapering for spring marathons and to get everyone set for the summer racing season. See you trackside ... See MoreSee Less

Secondly, a big well done to Suzie for completing the Ashby 20 miler as part of her marathon training! Next up our resident England vest chaser Jeanette only went and did it again with her 4th!!! Yes 4th qualification at the British Trail Running Champs, racing the Forest of Dean Half (finishing 4th in her category) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿A group of our fabulous runners headed to Aldenham for some Parkrun tourism at the weekend.And finally, Tim completed one whole loop of the Barkley Marathons! If you were following along this year you would have seen that only 3 made it through to the 3rd loop, cementing the events reputation as one of the toughest feats of endurance.
