In short: Small, friendly, quick course, lovely.
In full: Really friendly atmosphere for runners of all abilities. A little disorganised at the start, apart from that a charming race. Although the roads aren't closed it's through quite streets and lanes and the cars were never a problem. Definite PB potential. Knocked 2 minutes off mine. would do it again.

In short: A foggy morning but a race with a sunny disposition
In full: Enjoyed the morning, fabulous turnout on a foggy morning that promised PB's and it didn't disappoint. Friendly marshalls & great offering of Jelly babies half way round. Complete value for money and a great family atmosphere sure to bring everybody back next year.

In short: Very good event - but no goody bag or bottled water or chip timing
In full: This was my second running of the Swindon 10k and it is a very good event. Well organised and marshalled. Great PB potential as course is mostly flat with a few slight inclines. It has the prospect of being a great event. I would prefer bottled water as opposed to filling a cup from a tank and chip timing should be available on a race this size. A goody bag would of been nice. I would recommend this race to all abilities
