Revamped Swindon Half Marathon opens for applications

The re-launched 2017 Swindon
Half Marathon will be taking
applications at the start of this
month for the event which will be
held on September 3.
Last year’s event was due to take
place on Sunday, October 16 but
was cancelled due to a lack of
funds.
Organisers said there was a
shortfall of about £25,000, despite
money being raised from a crowd
funding campaign, sponsorship and
donations.
The new route starts and finishes
