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 📣As we head towards the autumn racing, cross country and marathon season our training focus will shift between endurance (threshold specific) workouts and speed training. Combining the two will allow for some good adaptions across all race disciplines whilst also maintaining a good level of top end speed.This week is the first session of the block and Victoria will be guiding you through an over/under session of 3 minute reps. Working slightly over LT2 and just below in a continuous run of between 24 and 30 minutes (depending on current fitness levels). **The time can be adjusted to suit all fitness levels**Sessions like this train the body to work at a sustained effort which will in term improve your lactate threshold. The better your threshold is, the faster you can go for longer!See you track side ... See MoreSee Less
