Septimus Francom (14 September 1882 – 15 March 1965) was a British long-distance runner.
He won several marathons (Hull 1912, 1913, 1914) and cross country races (Liverpool and District cross-country champion, 1912-23).
[1] He competed in the marathon at the 1912 Summer Olympics, but did not finish the race.
He practiced running along the track because the spacing of the railway sleepers suited his racing stride.
