We are excited to announce that Nationwide Building Society will once again be sponsoring the New Swindon Half Marathon.

As Swindon’s fastest growing new community, the Wichelstowe development is proud to be sponsoring this year’s New Swindon Half Marathon. We look forward to welcoming competitors as they run through the site, which will host one of the water stations, past the new homes at Canalside and through the open, green space at the heart of the development.


Eastcott Vets has been part of the Swindon community for more than 50 years. With 3 sites across the town, we provide outstanding care for thousands of pets. Our state-of-the-art hospital offers world class treatment and serves pet owners from across the south and south west of England.
Once again we’re delighted to be supporting the Swindon Half Marathon. We’ll have many colleagues running on the day and you’ll be guaranteed a cheer from the team outside our hospital at mile 3.

GLL, operating under the Better brand, is a not for profit charitable social enterprise committed to delivering a better quality of fitness and leisure for everyone. We’re committed to providing access to quality community facilities – and more – at a price everyone can afford. We aim to get more people, more active, more often. We promote healthy and active lifestyles, giving communities access to facilities that help improve their health and happiness through participation in activities. It could be gyms, swimming pools, ice rinks, trampoline parks or sports halls we have it all.
As a charitable social enterprise, we invest in our communities as we are a not for profit organisation but it’s not just about money: we also invest time and effort in encouraging everyone to take advantage of our services.
We work for the benefit of everyone: the public, the communities we work in, the environment, our staff and our partners. Whether you join us on a pre-paid memberships, or use our facilities occasionally as a non member, you can get fit, stay healthy, and know that you’re helping make a difference in your community. You can also rest assured that any surplus we make now and in the future goes back in to the service as you are buying in to an ethical company. Now, that’s better.

Residents of all ages and abilities are encouraged to get their running shoes on, train with friends and family and make use of our wonderful community spaces, and have an amazing experience on race day when the our town and parish comes to life. Whether it’s your first ever half marathon, or you’re a regular runner – good luck!
