Last updated: Wednesday, 01 February, 2023 at 12:36pm

The race headquarters for the Abingdon Marathon is located at Tilsley Park, Abingdon OX14 1PU. Tilsley Park is situated on Dunmore Road a mile north of the centre of Abingdon, and runs between the A4183 (accessed from the Abingdon north exit of the A34 southbound) and the B4017 (Abingdon to Wootton).

Tilsley Park is clearly signed from all main roads approaching Abingdon. Local buses run from Oxford (about every 15 minutes) and some of the other main towns in Oxfordshire, although services are limited on Sundays.

In the past changing facilities, showers, lockers, soft drinks and refreshment facilities have all been available at Tilsley Park. The facilities available at Tilsley Park will, however, be subject to any Government restrictions in place on race day, assuming the race is able to go ahead.

There are, however, no car parking facilities at Tilsley Park available on race day so please follow the signs to the nearest available car parking at Abingdon College, a ten–minute walk from the start.
