If you took part in the Mount Edgcumbe parkrun at the start of April, you may have noticed an unusually large number of people wearing orange. These folks were in fact, the Plymouth Coastal Runners (PCR), an 800 strong running group that operate on a ‘run when you want’ basis using Strava and also organise social meet ups like this one for you to meet your fellow running buddies.
Exeter Chiefs players Sam and Joe Simmonds are getting behind our appeal to improve access to the South West Coast Path. Through the Step Up appeal, we’re aiming to raise £10,000 every year to replace the 1,000 steps that are needed to keep the Coast Path accessible to walkers and runners. The two rugby stars, who both grew up and still live in Teignmouth, where the Coast Path runs through, are backing the appeal and encouraging everyone in the South West to help look after this unique natural asset.
