Welcome to the Avon Valley Runners Website

Avon Valley Runners are a Running club based in West Wiltshire. The club was founded in 1986 and currently has over 200 members of all abilities.

We meet at least three times a week at our training venues in Trowbridge, Melksham and Bradford-on-Avon with typically between 10-40 members running anywhere between 1 and 10 miles in different pace groups. We also have a Power Walking Group. Additionally members benefit from discount on Kinetica gym membership (currrently 10%).

Avon Valley Runners host a number of events throughout the year including the "Over the Hills" 12K Multi-Terrain Race, the "AVR Wiltshire Half Marathon" and the Avon Valley Relay, as well as assisting with the organisation of the Trowbridge Lions 10K and the Shaw Stampede.

DB Max Tri are the multisport arm Avon Valley Runners. All AVR members can Join DB Max Triathlon Club for a fee of £15, this entitles them to a free race in either the Duathlon Spring series or one of the Castle Combe 10k runs. A wide range of swim, bike and additional run sessions are also available to DB Max Triathlon Club members.
