Race Info
The Abingdon Marathon is a 42.2-kilometer road race that starts and finishes on the Tilsley Park athletics track in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England. The course is certified flat (AUKCM certificate 2026/039, 0.00 m/km net elevation change) and runs as a two-lap loop through Abingdon town centre and the villages of Drayton, Milton, and Sutton Courtenay; the route was revised for the 2026 race. First run in 1982, it is one of the UK's oldest marathons and one of eight UK races in the Abbott World Marathon Majors Age Group World Rankings. The race is organized by a volunteer committee drawn from Abingdon AC, Harwell Harriers, and Headington Road Runners, with surplus funds donated to local charities.
