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. The T-Shirt option will only be available to those runners who enter before Tuesday May 6th.

About Commonweal 5 Mile

Sunday 18th May 2025 - 10am



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.
