This sector is the biggest in our sport. It is important that road running is supported and developed in the region. The south west team and Council recognise the value and diversity in road running and have had an established development group for over 12 months. Representatives from each county attend regular meetings to discuss developing this area of our sport.
The SW Road Running co-ordinator is Paul Ross.
Please see the current road running development plan below for more details.
