Oxon Snacks The Abingdon Marathon 2026

The Abingdon Marathon begins at 9am from Tilsley Park in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, and has been run since 1982. It is one of the UK’s older marathons, featuring a flat, fast, mostly road course that attracts runners aiming for personal bests and those seeking a first marathon that feels manageable. The race is organized by runners for runners, with a committee bringing over 125 combined years of experience. Club runners come from across the country, entries can sell out, and the event operates strictly not-for-profit, with surplus funds allocated to local charities and selected organizations.
