Introduction

The Tamar Trotters is a sociable running club that caters for runners of all abilities from the absolute beginner to the seasoned regular. We have an active social scene as well as an organised training and racing policy. The Club was formed in 1996 from a small band of local enthusiasts, since then the Club has steadily grown and is now one of the largest running clubs in the South West of England.

We meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Saltash Rugby Club, Moorlands Lane, Saltash from 6:30 p.m. runs depart at 7:00 p.m. and generally last for one hour. On these training evenings we run in organised groups which cater for all abilities from sub 6 minute/mile pace to absolute beginners. Tuesday runs normally comprise a structured training session and Thursday runs are normally a steady pace.

The policy of this club is to cater for absolutely everybody who has an interest in running regardless of ability from age 7 to 77 and beyond. The club has qualified coaches and a wealth of experience and knowledge amongst our members, please feel free to ask any question you like on training, kit, injuries etc. there will almost certainly be someone who can help you.

Apart from the regular training meetings we also hold several social functions throughout the year and attend many local and not-so-local races. Entry details for most races are available from our website

We organise the 'Magnificent 7' road race in July of each year and the Saltash Half Marathon in May. In addition to this we also provide support to several other local events.

Each year the club organises its own Grand Prix series which comprises a selection of races over various distances and terrain. Each race completed counts towards an award.

Please regularly check the club notice board and the website for details of all races, social events, the Grand Prix series and other matters of interest. The notice board is regularly updated.

The safety and welfare of everyone attending our training sessions is of paramount importance and the Tamar Trotters Running Club has a duty of care to safeguard all members from harm. In return we ask that all members also accept responsibility for their own safety.
