Welcome to Ruby Red Running
‘Serious about running without taking running seriously’
The team at Ruby Red Running are passionate about giving you the best race experience possible.
We believe that it’s the little things that matter and we want to prove that it is possible to put on amazing, challenging and friendly events without charging the earth, and whilst also giving back to the community.
Whether you are a trail newbie looking for an entry level event, or a weathered trail vet looking for challenging 100km+ events we have you covered, always giving that little bit extra to make your experience the best it can be.
For 2025 we are proud to be supporting Arc Axminster, helping them raise funds for the important work they undertake in our local community.
Previous donations have included:
- Shute Primary School - for new playground equipment
- Offwell Primary School PTFA
- Rich Wigram New Zealand Scholarship
- Dalwood Fayre Committee
- MND Association
- Alzheimer's Society
One of our most recent donations has been to All Saints CofE Primary School. We donated 20 new athletics vests in time for the 2024/25 cross country season. Phillip Lee, Head Teacher at All Saints said ,“The new athletics vests enable our pupils to take pride in representing the school. By really feeling part of their school community, I hope the children will be inspired to participate in more cross country and athletics events.”
If you would like Ruby Red Running to consider making a donation to your community project or charity, please contact us.
What's in a name?
Why are we called Ruby Red Running? Well...we stayed true to our heart and let the environment decide, yes Ruby Red is a type of cattle, yes it was the first animal we saw out running that morning...life doesn’t have to be complicated.
Like the cattle we are natives of the West Country, and are both versatile and flexible in what we can offer, we have strong links with the rural community giving us access to some otherwise private routes.
