Event overview

We’d love you to join us for our 5k, 10k and Half Marathon Running Festival around Frome Town Centre, starting and finishing on the Old Showfield. All courses start and finish on the Old Showfield, Frome’s biggest open green space, and head out into the town’s picturesque historic centre, with closed road routes throughout. The courses follow a road closed single loop circuit, with the Half Marathon route heading out around Frome town centre and the Somerset countryside, heading past the English Heritage site of Nunney Castle, and the 10k & 5k routes stay within Frome itself. This Run Britain/UKA licensed, officially measured race is open to runners of all abilities, and is well established in the community from previous organisers.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
