With Covid restrictions easing and the weather proving a little kinder, Frome runners have enjoyed competing in races around the locality. Dubbed ‘one of Britain’s poshest race venues, White Star Running returned to the Wiltshire Downs for the annual Spring Larmer Tree Races on the 5th March. The Rushmore Estate hosted 5 ‘epic’ trail races (that is, steep climbs and sharp descents, or just plain ‘hilly’ as it is known in the trade) as well as being muddy underfoot. Dave Perrett (M40) ran the Spring Larmer 10 miler, clocking a very respectable 1:48:40. Sara Elliott (F60) and Fiona Norris (F50) took on the challenge of the Spring Larmer Half marathon and showing their comradeship, came in at 2:45:37 apiece, giving Sara 4 th place in her age category and Fiona 12 th in hers. Well done to all three for flying the Frome colours here.                                                                     Dave Perrett after completing the Larmer 10 miler
