About Us


Tavistock Run Project (TRP) was formed by Dave Chanter in 2013 with the objective of developing all areas of running within the community.

Initially the concept was a blank canvas, but soon evolved into a small training group attracting a disparate collection of athletes both unattached and local club runners who had a desire to take their running to the next level.

As the group continued to evolve, it was decided to become an affiliated club and under the chairmanship of Steve Watson TRP became a club in October 2017.

The club is run by runners and the overriding ethos is to be athlete cantered and not numbers orientated. It is our aim to continue to follow this ideal as we move forward and grow.

TRP will continue to evolve and grow, working within the community across the spectrum of athletics, providing opportunities for athlete and coach development and striving to become a blueprint for athletic clubs in the future.

Its roots in the community have recently seen it link up with local business Flapjackery who will become the clubs official kit sponsor.

Going forward TRP have exciting plans offering opportunities both for the present and future generations of runners in the community.
