Swindon Half Marathon
The Swindon Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 26th September 2027 at Coate Water Country Park in Swindon. The event is a closed road half marathon of 13.1 miles that runs through Swindon and the surrounding countryside, passing the villages of Wanborough, Badbury and Medbourne. The event has a course cut off of three hours and a minimum age of 17.
The course is mostly flat for the opening five miles, becomes undulating between approximately miles five and ten, and includes a sustained climb around miles eight to ten before dropping toward the finish beside the lake. There are three water stations positioned at roughly 5 km intervals and a bottle of water provided at the finish.
The Event Village at Coate Water offers race pack collection, bag drop, portable toilets and post race refreshments. Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photographs, chip timed results and post race goodies. Parking is available at the Polo Ground, which is about a 10 minute walk from the Event Village; the Coate Water car park requires paid parking once it opens.
Spectators are welcome; dogs may attend as spectators provided they are kept on a lead, but running with a dog is not permitted. Wheelchair athletes and buggy runners are welcome and advised to be mindful of other participants. The event supports Prospect Hospice.
