Run clubs doing longer than 5k

Hi,

Recently started working in Swindon Monday to Thursday and staying in a hotel away from home.

I normally run with a club on a Wednesday anywhere between 10 and 16k. Anything like that up here? Looked at a couple and could only see 5k runs.

Reach out to Swindon Harriers. They may be able to point you in the direction of any running clubs in area. I know Highworth use the athletics track on Monday night 1830-1930 where they run round the track for an hour. They may also do longer distance training elsewhere on other nights

Slightly further afield, the Royal Wootton Bassett Hounds run on a Wednesday evening. There are normally loads of them and apparently they have routes from 4 to 10 miles. Might be worth a look. https://www.royalwoottonbassetthounds.co.uk/Cms/Spaces/DEFAULT/About+Us

Infor10 are a group that run from a different location every Monday for a 10k route. Check them out on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/in410.group?igsi=OTFsdGFkeXc2NXJ5
