Exmouth Harriers presented a cheque to the Deaf Academy to help with a fundraising effort.
The cheque for £457.40 was handed over on Friday and was collected by the running club during a recent 5km seafront training run where they were joined by a number of the academy's pupils and staff.
The money will go towards the Deaf Academy's efforts to install a puffin road crossing outside the academy gates on Douglas Avenue.
The installation of the new crossing aims to enhance the safety of both pupils and staff navigating the busy road.
The academy is still actively fundraising for the crossing and has set up a JustGiving page for anyone who would like to donate and assist in reaching their target.
The page can be found at justgiving.com/campaign/puffincrossing.
A busy weekend saw the Harriers not only supporting the Deaf Academy but also taking part in various races locally and in London.
