In short: well organised everything seemed to be just right even the weather
In full: This is a hilly course but the atmosphere created by the marshalls and crowd was great to spur you on.
Personal thanks to a Hogweed runner who helped me at just over the 10 mile mark to get moving again and to get home just one minute over the 2 hours thank you!

In short: A Superb Half Marathon
In full: I have run quite a few half-marathons and swindon is a really good one. It has an even mix of uphill and downhill sections, and some lovely views over the ridgeway. Great countryside, great atmosphere, and very well marshalled. A nice medal at the finish and not too busy like some half marathons can be. A good choice for both novice and expert runner.
