Frome 5k, 10k & Half Marathon
The Frome Running Festival takes place in Frome on Sunday, 12 September 2027. It offers three timed distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
Races start and finish at the Frome Showground and use closed roads. Routes run through Somerset countryside, residential streets and the town centre. The half marathon route passes the event village and continues toward Nunney before returning. The 10 km includes a loop of Berkley and the 5 km is an out-and-back to Berkley. All courses have undulating profiles; the half marathon records an elevation gain of 255 m.
Entries include a themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies and a bag-drop facility. There is an event village with food and drink and free finish-line items from partners. An optional event t-shirt is available as an extra at checkout. Race packs are posted to entrants by Sunday 29 August; entrants after that date collect their packs at registration.
Event logistics note that there are toilets at the event village and water stations at approximately every 5 km, including on the 5 km route. There is no designated race parking. Frome is accessible by train and by regular bus services, and Frome Train Station is about a 20-minute walk from the Old Showfield. Buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome.
