Frome Running Festival

Frome Running Festival

Voted one of the best events in the UK by runners in the independent Racecheck Awards in 2019 – there’s nowhere quite like Frome for an unforgettable run.

Welcoming first-time runners, experienced athletes, and everyone in between, you’ll find people of all paces to keep you feeling strong as you take in the sights of the fabulous routes through rural, residential and town centre streets.

The final glorious mile sweeps through the town centre heart of Frome with a huge downhill curve that will set your hairs on end, with goosebumps carrying you through to the finish line.

Why fundraise for us

Only 30% of our income comes from the local council and health services. We charge heavily subsidised fees for our one-to-one home support and day care, and rely on the generosity of our supporters for the rest. We need to raise £960 every day of the year.
