Frome’s first Santa Dash takes place on Sunday 10th December at the Old Showfield in aid of local charity We Hear You.
The event is sponsored by Redrow Homes and is being organised with the help of Frome Running Club. It’s a manageable 5k, so you won’t need a gruelling training schedule and the whole family can join in.
Entry costs £8 until 12th November with the early bird discount, or £10 full price (£5 for children aged 6-16).
Everyone who books before the day will receive a stylish all-natural, speed-enhancing Santa suit and all runners get a Santa Dash medal.
There’s no minimum sponsorship amount, but runners are being asked to try and raise £44, the cost of a counselling session at We Hear You.
So come, run and give someone a life-changing Christmas gift.
You can register via www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ frome-santa-dash-registra tion-37242459198?aff=es2

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
