A running events company is inviting runners of all abilities to participate in a new running festival, in support of a hospice charity.

RunThrough's Frome Running Festival will take place on Sunday, August 18, and support the work of Dorothy House Hospice Care.

The festival's race formats include 5k, 10k and half marathon, with all events starting and finishing at the Old Showfield.

Steph Cox, relationship fundraising lead at Dorothy House, said: "As a Frome resident myself and knowing friends and family who have taken part in the event previously, I am really excited to see it return with some fresh energy!

"We really appreciate the opportunity that RunThrough have given us and hope that as many local people as possible sign up and choose to support the Hospice.

"Being able to sign up to a local event, with money raised, supporting friends and family in the local area is what it’s all about."

Participants in the races will run through a mix of town centre views and countryside landscapes, with the 5k and 10k routes weaving through Frome town centre while the half marathon extends into the Somerset countryside, including a pass by Nunney Castle.
