THE Swindon Half Marathon looks set to be held again next year.

Organisers have announced the official date is September 22 - although this is still to be confirmed.

There were fears that this year’s half marathon might be the last, but due to the number of people who took park, it left organisers feeling optimistic about hosting it again.

This year’s fundraising total was £118,272.49, with thousands of people getting involved. Last year’s total was £70,000.

Registration for the Nationwide Building Society event will go live on February 1 at www.newswindonhalf.co.uk
