The highly popular Abingdon Marathon was unfortunately cancelled for 2007 due to a number of key race committee positions being unfilled. I made an 11th hour attempt on behalf of my club to save the event, but alas it was to no avail.<br><br>The good news is it’s back for 2008! We’ve got in early this time and everything is set for Sunday October 19th 2008. Put it in your diary now!<br><br>Entries will be open mid January. Keep an eye on this thread and Runners World for further details.<br><br>My thanks to the hard working existing Abingdon committee, and my good friends at Alchester RC who have enabled this to happen. <br>
