About Us

HI EVERYONE

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself—my name is Dave Wild, and I’m the organiser of the Cirencester Half Marathon, as well as the founder of Future Sports Gear Ltd, a bespoke sports clothing brand based in the North of England, with strong ties to South Wales.
Our company has deep roots in both professional and amateur sport, working with rugby, football, and athletics communities across the UK. More recently, we’ve expanded into organising sporting events, with the Cirencester Half Marathon being one of our most exciting projects yet.
As a passionate runner, I’ve taken part in events across Wales and Yorkshire and have always enjoyed the sense of community and challenge these races bring.
The Cirencester Half Marathon is designed to celebrate the beauty and history of the Cotswolds while creating a memorable experience for runners of all levels. I can’t wait to welcome you to Cirencester on November 2nd, 2025, for what promises to be a fantastic day.
See you on the start line

Very hilly as expected for a trail race. Challenging run but enjoyable. Great views, and good course. well signposted and marshalled. Highly recommended for the price

A great event really enjoyed: well marshalled & stocked aid stations, mile markers, friendly atmosphere, lovely scenery, quick to register, great communication pre & post-race. Like to arrive early & had no issues. Will definitely do again

RUNNER

1st ever trail run did 10k Afan Valley – well marked out course – was delayed in starting by 30mins. Totally enjoyed scenery was awesome would have preferred more of the course on softer ground as mainly fire roads would recommend to any beginner as a 1st event
