The Abingdon Marathon
The Abingdon Marathon is an annual marathon event established in 1982. The 42nd edition is scheduled for Sunday 18 October 2026. The event holds a full race licence, number 30631.
The organising committee combines over 125 years of experience. The organisers state the event focuses on the athletes and aims to deliver a professional and welcoming atmosphere. The marathon attracts runners from clubs across the country, including those seeking personal best times and those attempting a first marathon on a user-friendly course.
The event is run strictly not-for-profit. All profits are donated to local charities and other chosen organisations; in 2025 the marathon raised £20,300 for its charities.
Recent updates listed by the organisers include a revised course for 2026 and a new event t-shirt design for 2026. The event lists several sponsors and partners, among them Abingdon Sports and Leisure, Hilton Garden Hotel, Active Root and Tribe.
Entries are noted as open for the 2026 race. The event materials include race information, route maps, results and race rules, and the organisers provide pages for volunteers, charity partners and local accommodation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
