About us

Formed in 1984, Instinctive Sports was formed by a group of people who were interested in keeping fit, and who started to meet informally on a regular basis. The emphasis from the beginning was on enjoyment, participation and encouraging people to become involved in running as physical exercise.

Instinctive Sports has an active social calendar and provides a way to make new friendships through the common interest in running.

Over the years we have raised many thousands of pounds for local charities including Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and our current designated charity, St Lukes Hospice.

The club has hosted various races in our history –  the Guy Fawkes 10 mile run (until 2001), the Sam Penny Scenic Challenge six mile run (until 2008) and the Plym Valley Challenge (until 2017).
