Frome Running Festival

*In partnership with Run for Charity.

Take on the much-loved Frome Running Festival and run 5km, 10km or a Half Marathon in support of Dorothy House Hospice Care.

The Frome Running Festival returns this year, reinvigorated and with a new running director. All courses start and finish at the Old Showfield grounds, which is Frome’s biggest open green space.

The race will take you through the town’s picturesque historic centre, with roads closed throughout, as well as plenty of support from the community of Frome and its surrounding villages.

There are two ways of registering to take part: A Dorothy House Bond Place or an Independent Place.

Dorothy House Bond Places

We have 50 Dorothy House Places up for grabs, which are available on a first come, first served basis.

We ask for a payment of:

£20 for the 5k and a guarantee that you will raise £100 or more for Dorothy House.

£25 for the 10k and a guarantee that you will raise £150 or more for Dorothy House.

£30 for the Half Marathon and a guarantee that you will raise £200 or more for Dorothy House.
