Frome Running Club has been going now since 1981. We were founded during the running boom which grew at the time of the first London Marathon.

The club caters for runners of all abilities, from competitive runners to people who just like running for the pleasure of it. Some members race on an almost weekly basis, whilst others have no intention of racing at all. Some fall in between, doing just one or two races each year.

Nobody is obliged to compete. If you like running then maybe we are what you have been looking for! Run for fun or compete regularly, it doesn’t matter, just come and run.

We can be found at Frome Rugby Club every Wednesday evening at 6.45 pm for a 7 pm start. Our regular Wednesday night runs range from approximately 3 miles up to almost 9 miles. There are groups of varying ability and we make sure that no-one is ever left behind. Other groups (contact tony.blatchford@yeovalley.co.uk for details) also meet on a Monday and Friday evening and Sunday morning at a variety of venues for rural, road and off-road runs.
