In short: Great organisation, great atmosphere, great race.
In full: Very enjoyable despite the weather. Also felt easier than last year's race day mini heat wave. Faultless organisation and crew. Good support where the course lends itself to it. Nice medal and goody bag. Maybe slightly biased as this is now my local half, but it's also my personal favourite and I'm already looking forward to running it again in 2010.

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
