About Us

We are a friendly local club always willing to welcome new people – either those currently running or those wishing to take up the sport. You are welcome to come along for a couple of taster sessions before deciding whether you want to join. We have England Athletics-qualified Coaches and Run Leaders who supervise all of our sessions. We see ourselves mainly as a social running club, and try to cater for a wide range of abilities, from beginner upwards. Our members participate in a huge variety of running events – local and national, road and trail, at everything from 5k to ultra distance, and have a wealth of experience that they are happy to share.

Club History

Originally founded in 1989, the club has gone from strength to strength with membership increasing significantly over recent years. More and more members are taking part in the Cornish Grand Prix series of races, not to mention any number of other events throughout the country and abroad.

I joined LRR and started running in 2004. Due to my love of running I wanted to share this with
others and became a qualified coach in 2010. Since then, it has been a great pleasure seeing the
athletes I’ve helped achieve their goals. I was Race Director of the Treggy 7 for 10+ years and am still
fully involved with this in a supporting role. Currently, I am the chairperson of the club, besides being
a coach, welfare officer and run leader.

Vin Marshall

Run Leader, Committee Member.

I started running in my early fifties when playing league badminton for Launceston and I wanted to
be fitter. 12 years ago I did my Leadership Running Fitness qualification. This has enabled me to lead
the 3 mile and 5 mile groups regularly. For the past few years I have led the C25K group, which gives
me enormous satisfaction in helping others start on their running journey.
I have been the editor of the newsletter since 2017 in which I try to keep everyone informed of all
club activities.

Vikki Savage

Committee Member

Hi there,

I’m Vikki a mum to 5 and love to run.

I’m late to the game and didn’t start running until I was 43 (now approaching 52) but now cannot imagine my life without running in it.

It keeps me sane, fit and connected to the most encouraging and supportive community of runners.
