Our “5 to 10K Progression Group is designed for runners who want to make the next step-up in their running journey.

If you can jog or run your way around parkrun (3 miles / 5k) or similar without stopping or walking, you’re fit enough to join this group.

We offer a 7-week programme starting with “3.5 miles at the pace of the slowest runner” and building up to running for a full hour. The group operates alongside SWRR’s regular Wednesday club nights – so once you’ve completed the 7-week programme you should be ready to join one of our other, regular groups.

Our current group started on Wednesday 2nd October 2024

We meet at the Exeter Harriers building next to the Arena from 6-30pm and start running at 7pm
There is free car parking and bicycle racks on site
It will be £4 per session for non-club members – usual subs fee for members
Please ensure that you wear light reflective clothing to run in and bring a torch if you have one.
