About South Devon AC

South Devon Athletic Club took its present shape in 1997 through the merger of Brixham and Devonia athletic clubs. Initially using a combined name, it adopted South Devon AC later that year. The club serves Torbay, Devon, England, with separate adult and junior training arrangements.

Senior sessions meet at Clennon Valley Leisure Centre in Paignton. The published Tuesday programme develops speed and endurance, while Thursday offers longer group runs and a shorter run-walk option by arrangement. Junior athletics takes place on Mondays at Churston Ferrers Grammar School, rather than at the senior meeting point.

The club's history records international-level athletes including Nic Andrews and Darren Westlake, alongside former schools sprinter Amanda Applegarth. These are historical associations, not a current membership list. Anyone considering joining should contact the club first to arrange a suitable trial and check the relevant group's capacity, time and venue.
