The Abingdon Marathon is one of the UK's longest established marathons, first held in 1982 and known for its friendly, runner focused atmosphere. The race starts and finishes on the athletics track at Tilsley Park before heading through Abingdon and the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside.

The flat and fast 26.2 mile course is well suited to runners chasing a marathon personal best as well as those taking on the distance for the first time. From Tilsley Park, the route passes through Abingdon town centre before heading onto a two lap section through the villages of Drayton, Milton and Sutton Courtenay, eventually returning through Abingdon for a track finish in front of the grandstand.

The marathon attracts runners from clubs across the country while retaining the feel of a smaller, runner focused event. Mile markers, regular drink stations and extensive marshalling support runners around the course, with every finisher rewarded with a medal after completing the final section on the Tilsley Park track.
