The Trotters were formed in 1982 and have gone on to become one of the largest running clubs in Devon, attracting members from all over Teignbridge and the surrounding areas.
They meet here at the Rec on a Monday and Wednesday night. Their training sessions start promptly at 7pm and cater for all standards of runner, ranging from their very successful Couch to 5K all the way up to marathon and ultra marathon runners.
They organise five annual races; Dartmoor Discovery Ultra Marathon, Totnes 10K, Haytor Heller, Ladies 10K and the Templer Ten.
They also have a great social scene, with many events held throughout the year. It’s a great way to meet new friends, get fit and you never know, you might just meet your future spouse – they’ve had 10 marriages where members have met through being Trotters!
