Welcome to the Avon Valley Runners Website

Avon Valley Runners is a running club based in West Wiltshire. We cater for runners of all abilities and experience. Our members enjoy and compete in Road Running, Cross Country and Fell Running as well as other multi-sport activities like Triathlon.

We were formed in 1986 from the road running section of Trowbridge and District Athletic Club and have grown to a membership of over six hundred runners.

Avon Valley Runners are affiliated to England Athletics, Association of Running Clubs and Wiltshire Athletic Association.

 

As we are currently still under Covid Restrictions, we are limited to the amount of training we can provide.

An email is sent out to all members who have a current paid membership on a Saturday morning with the following week's runs and training listed. The email contains links that are to be followed to book on to these. Places are limited to 6 for a run and 22 for a training session. Currently we are offering 18 different sessions a week.

We offer training and running for all abilities. We have groups that run out at a 7:30 minute mile, to groups that run at a 12 minute mile. We also have walk / run groups and will be introducing a walking group to help those coming back from injury. Our interval training is also open to all abilities.
