If you want to check out the new route of the Mells Scenic Race, then take a look at the map below. Veterans of the Mells Scenic 7 will notice that the new route takes runners go along part of the cycle path from Great Elm to Mells, rather than going over Barrow Hill. But don’t worry, there are still hills and some stunning scenery to enjoy.

The Frome Running Club Committee has taken the difficult decision to cancel this year's Mells Scenic 7 originally due on September 4th. Due to a combination of enhanced licence requirements delaying the ability to open entries, uncertainty about medical cover and concerns over sufficient marshalling, we decided that it would be better to cancel this year's race rather than put on a sub-par event. It is our intention to organise this popular race again next year.
