Frome 5k, 10k & Half Marathon
Frome 5k, 10k & Half Marathon is a running festival held in Frome, England. Distances offered include:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
Entry fees for the event are shown in a range from about £32 to £40 plus a booking fee. The event was voted one of the best events in the UK in the Racecheck Awards 2019.
The festival starts at the Frome Showground and routes head out through the Somerset countryside. The half marathon route passes the event village and runs through the town toward Nunney before returning. The 10K uses a loop of Berkley before returning to the showground, and the 5K is an out-and-back to Berkley. All routes take place on closed roads and have undulating profiles; the half marathon lists an elevation gain of 255 m. The final mile runs through the town centre and includes a long downhill curve into the finish.
On race day there is an event village with food and finish-line goodies. Included with entry are a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag drop. Water stations are provided at roughly every 5 km and on the 5K route. Race packs are posted to entrants by Sunday 29 August; later entrants collect theirs at registration. Buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
