In short: Swindonia has a few hills to make it a bit more of a challenge
In full: Well organised, great support under the circumstances. Pleanty of Marshalls/water/aid stations. Course a tad tight in places, especially 7-9 miles. Wellorganised at the start and finish, adequate loos, good parking,good on-site activity. Bananas, curly wurlys, water and lucozade at the end, quality medal, naffish t-shirt but can't fault it for vfm and will be back.

In short: One of the best organised 1/2s in the country
In full: I have run Swindon for the last 5 years. Every year the event is better organised. Bigger races like Bristol and Bath could learn alot from the swindon Team.
Well done swindon

In short: Great fun; very well organised; hills hurt less than I remember.
In full: It's all been said below: very well organised; well marked; big thanks to supporters and marshalls who came out in dreadful weather; would be scenic but for rain and cloud!
Wasn't looking forward to the hills I remembered from 2 years ago,but didn't seem too bad this year. Either better training (unlikely) or the details lost in battling the constant rain - which I can't complain about as I got a PB.
Well done Swindon; I'll be back.
