The friendly club that welcomes runners of all abilities

Calling all would-be, could-be and should-be runners! This year we are running the popular Couch to 5K (C25K) programme again, starting on Tuesday 6 September.

Each runner who completes the training will be able to transition easily into the regular club running groups. There are two club sessions per week at 6:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday meeting at the pavilion in the park. The C25K plan also requires a 3rd session each week which is done in your own time alone, or with any of your new friends from the club.

Our friendly coaches will guide you through the programme and enable you to improve your health and fitness both physically and emotionally.

The training sessions are free, but all runners will need to become a member of the club which is just £25 and can be done through the website by clicking the join link at the top of the page.

If you have any questions, or would like more information, see the website or email us at okehamptonrunningclub@gmail.com

Okehampton Running Club inaugural Summer Solstice run to Little Hound Tor stone circle first time in 2021. We departed Belstone at 3:30am for a gentle run along the Taw Valley before an ascent to Little Hound Tor where we await the sun to rise about 5am.
Part of Belstone Village Fair, this traditional race has been going for many years. Take your own line to the top of Cosdon Hill (which can be seen from the start) then race back. The distance is approx 3.2 miles with a climb of around 300m over rough open terrain.
Marilyn's Meldon Madness (Formerly the Great West Fell Run) is the only race that takes you to the highest point in the south of England. The 1,362ft ascent is tough enough to challenge any off-road runner but, at just five miles, it offers a rare opportunity for anyone to try their first fell race. The route is beautiful with stunning views over the county from Yes Tor and High Willhays (the highest point) before a welcome descent to Black Tor and down Homerton Hill to the finish at Meldon reservoir where tea, coffee and delicious cakes will be available. More info at: http://okehamptonrunningclub.com/
The Oke Croak is a must for all off-road runners. The 10.69-mile route is challenging with 2,000 feet of ascent over the rugged moorland of northern Dartmoor. You will be heading out of Simmons Park through the beautiful wooded valley beside the River Okement before starting the climb up the ancient "Goat". More info at: http://okehamptonrunningclub.com/
