The organiser of the annual Frome Half Marathon is seeking business sponsors for this year's popular community event.

Being held on Sunday, 19 July this year, the event attracts more than 1,500 competitors who pound the streets over three inclusive distances - half marathon, 10k, 5k - plus a 1k family fun run.

Mike Stunt, commercial partnerships and sponsorships, for The Race Organiser said: "Our aim for the Frome Half is to provide the best race day experience for competitors and spectators whilst keeping the entry price low.

"A large scale half marathon can bring many things to a town from benefits to the local economy to building communities in general.

"It also provides a great platform for charity involvement and around 35 percent of our runners do so to raise money for their own personal charities and good causes."

Mike says none of this would be possible without the continued involvement and support of sponsors and partners: "We are always looking for companies or organisations that would like to offer sponsorship to the Frome Half and, in return, utilise the promotional opportunities it presents."

Anyone interested in finding out more about sponsorship opportunities can contact Mike by emailing [email protected].
