Truro Running Club

Upcoming Races and TRC Events

Early Days

Who started it?!

Rummaging around in a cupboard Adrian Tyas (Club Treasurer) found some old team photos that include some of the club’s founding members. It’s fair to say he got a bit excited! Instead of leaving them to languish we decided to share them here for everyone to enjoy. If you’ve got any you’d like to add we’d love to include them, so please email them to us!

In 1998 the club’s founding members Kev Harding, Adrian Tyas, Chris Duckham, Liz Lusty-Hoye and Bill James were training together for the London Marathon and following their successful race they set up Truro Running Club. There are still 7 regular members (2011) that can be spotted in the early photo below – looking a bit fresher faced then! (Good to see we’ve got a better male to female ratio these days!) Maybe you remember some other members from those times?

10th Anniversary

In 2008 the club celebrated its 10th anniversary and the club chairman, then Rob Cockings (who in 2011 is now our head coach) wrote an article that was published in The West Briton. The article is still online to read today.
