The club offers a variety of club sessions to cater to different needs and preferences. One of their popular options is the Jeffing group, which is perfect for individuals recovering from injury or those who prefer a more relaxed running experience. The Jeffing group starts with a short brisk walk, followed by 45 to 60-second runs and 1-minute walks. This cycle is repeated for 3–4 kilometres as a group, ensuring a fun and easy-going experience for everyone.
In addition to the Jeffing group, Budleigh Runners holds weekly runs on various days. On Mondays, they have a 5k Run Groups and Jeffing session at 6pm. This run is divided into 4–5 groups based on different speeds, and there is always a tail runner for those who prefer a more leisurely pace. Wednesdays feature a 10k run at 6pm, with two groups divided based on speed or as one larger group with loop backs.
Fridays offer a relaxed and sociable 5k run at 9:30am, where runners loop back or stop to wait for everyone, ensuring the group stays together. Saturdays are reserved for Parkrun Exmouth, a 5k run held at 9am, and Sundays feature a 5k Trail Run at 9am.
Budleigh Runners also hosts a monthly club social event on the first Monday of every month. After the run, members gather at a local pub for drinks and a friendly chat, further fostering a sense of community within the club.
