In full: Despite having a terrible run myself today I thought this was a fantastic race, one of the best half's I've done. Nice mix of town and countryside, fantastic support from the locals and some tough hills to challenge you. 10 out of 10 Frome!!!!!

In short: Excellent race; Great organisation, Friendly encouragement on the way round but hilly!
In full: Enjoyed the first Frome 10k; well organised, plenty of water stations which was great as it was so hot and lots of encouragement on the way round. A hilly route which was challenging but fun. Nice medal, certificate and goody bag too.

In short: A demanding but scenic and well-organised half marathon
In full: A super race, even on a hot day. Very hilly, but that just means the smile is even bigger at the finish. Well organised and marshaled, excellent goody bag. Hats off to the organisers making such a complicated route traffic free. Brilliant support from the people of Frome and villages, and a few welcome cool-downs from garden hosepipes on route. Terrific.
