The Abingdon Marathon

The Abingdon Marathon, established in 1982, is one of the UK's oldest marathons and will hold its 41st edition in 2025. Located in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the race starts at Tilsley Park and features a flat, fast course primarily on roads, making it ideal for runners aiming for personal bests. Despite growing entries, the event maintains a small, welcoming atmosphere focused on athletes, organized by an experienced committee of runners.

The marathon operates as a not-for-profit event, with all profits donated to local charities. It attracts runners nationwide, from first-timers to seasoned athletes seeking a user-friendly race experience. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
