The Abingdon Marathon
The next Abingdon Marathon is on Sunday, 22 October 2024.
The start of the Abingdon Marathon, 2023
This fantastic race is very popular, particularly with runners chasing a PB or a qualifying time for bigger events.
It has gained a reputation for being well organised and friendly with our great volunteers getting a special mention in the sporting press.
Why you should volunteer
We are incredibly proud of how the marathon has grown and how much money it has raised for local charities. AC members who volunteer can nominate the club to receive a donation. We use the money to buy new equipment for the club, which can be anything from javelins to poles and from subsidising race entries to buy medals for our track stars.
We all benefit from the money we get from the marathon, so it's up to us to give back. We ask for each of us to give up a bit of our time on one Sunday in October.
If we don't get the 200-plus volunteers needed, the race cannot go ahead.
