About
As many local runners will know, unfortunately, the previous format of the Swindon Half Marathon ran its last race in 2015. Swindon has a huge, and vibrant, running community, so we’re bringing back the race, but in a new format, which we feel is much more fitting to the runners of not just Swindon, but something that people will want to travel to the town for. Swindon is a large town with easy routes to the surrounding area, so deserves a race on a much bigger scale than what we’ve had over previous years. The new course is very flat making it the perfect opportunity to go for a PB. It starts and finishes in the town centre passing the Magic Roundabout, the County Ground, the Oasis, the Railways, the McArther Glenn Outlet Village as well as Old Town on the way. With a split start finish, we are able to keep the surrounding area open for local residents which we weren't able to do with the old loop format. Overall the event is bigger and better than ever. We look forward to welcoming you all to run with us on September 22nd 2019!

Did the race in 2018
Good run around Swindon. A shame that it was such an early start time this year (8am) but aware they're planning on pushing it back in future years if the event continues. Nice route, with support in masses at many points as running from one side of town round to the other, giving spectators the chance to catch you twice easily. A few hills, however nothing too bad, apart from the slog up Pipers Way near the 11 mile point. Great downhill run to the finish.

Did the race in 2018
This is a really flat course and ideal PB territory. Its not too crowded. Pleasant trip around the centre. It had a really early start due to the complaints about the rolling road closures (8am) but still people were out to support runners. Its a junior event but well organised. A bag drop lorry from start to the end in the town centre. Really enjoyed this route and event. The goodie bag features medal and tshirt. Then a packet of emily crisps and bananas were available at the finish to help yourself too. The organisers also took the left over tshirt and gels etc to park run the following week to hand out and are sending some off with a charity. Lovely idea.
