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 Charlie A true speed/endurance session of descending reps, starting with 10 minutes at your 10k race pace/effort and moving down to finish with 2 minutes faster than 5k race pace/effort. The session will involve a shift in gears as fatigue builds and test your ability to sustain and then increase pace as the session progresses.Come and give it a go! ... See MoreSee Less

Our next 5-10k progression group will be starting on October 2nd at 6.30pm. As part of our weekly club meets a team of LiRFS will lead you over a 7 week program to get you from running 5k to 10k. All you need to be able to do is comfortably jog/run 5k without stopping. Pace doesn’t matter, the groups are inclusive of all abilities and the routes will be set by a run leader each week. It’s a great way to meet new people and become part of one of the best running clubs in the South West! If you would like to join us please get in touch via our website or by messaging us on socials. ... See MoreSee Less

A fabulous mix of road racing, trail running and wine drinking!First up, Mark and Caroline headed up north to race the Great North Run with a big PB for Caroline of 1:51:40 and 1:53:07 for Mark. Great running guys 👏🏻 Next up Lawrence and Anita completed the Saints Way Challenge Ultra marathon across Cornwall in 6:54. A big well done to both of you 👏🏻 Victoria headed over to France to run the infamous Marathon Du Madoc. There was definitely more wine drinking than racing, but lots of fun was had. 🍷And finally Rob completed the OuterEdge Dartmoor Volcano 10.5mi on Saturday, in 01:52:12 on a very tough course. Great running 👏🏻 ... See MoreSee Less
