The Commonweal 5 is an annual 5 mile running race, organised by volunteers from the Commonweal School PTA in order to raise money for the school.
The race takes place on a Sunday morning in mid May each year, starting and finishing at the school in Old Town, Swindon. It is run on a mixture of footpaths, trails and roads through the south Swindon countryside.
All finishers will receive a medal and have the option to choose either a technical t-shirt or have a tree planted.

Commonweal 5 mile has been a popular race recreational runners, club runners and Swindon’s elite runners. Our aim is to be a friendly race for all abilities and to be as inclusive as our course safely permits – we welcome buggies and guided runners but ask that you check out the route and contact us before entering.
The Commonweal 5 Mile was established in 2012 and all money raised from the event supports The Commonweal School.
It is a chip timed race along a scenic course that has a sting in its tail…! Starting (and finishing) on the school playing field, the route descends along paths and quiet residential streets from Old Town to a flat middle section along paths past Hall and Woodhouse and Waitrose supermarket. After passing the lakes and canal in Wichelstowe the final section of the route involves a steady climb back up to Old Town.
