Welcome to the website of the Taf Running and Orienteering Team (TROTs), based in St Clears. The club competes in road, multi-terrain and cross country races across West Wales, the UK and around the world.

Since forming in the late 1980s, the TROTs membership has grown and now includes more than 70 regular runners from under 16 to over 60! Club members are now more focused on road running, cross country and fell running than orienteering. However, orienteers in West Wales are welcome to boost their fitness by training with the TROTs. And you can discover more aboutorienteering organisations and clubs via our links page.

The club meets every Thursday night at 7.00 p.m. in the Leisure Centre in St Clears, with runners coming from South Pembrokeshire Carmarthenshire and Ceridigion. We welcome new members, and full details of how to join the club are available on our membership page.

We have particularly strong veterans and ladies teams, including Welsh internationals and champions at distances from 5k to the Marathon. However, the club includes runners of all abilities, so there is always someone to train with at a speed and distance to suit you :-)

On the site, you will find an events diary and results of recent races, as well as news and links to local running clubs and other relevant websites.
