Virginia Creeper Marathon

Running in Abingdon this October, you'll find a genuinely flat course that rewards speed and consistency, with minimal elevation to slow you down over the full 42.2 kilometres. The road surface and gentle terrain make this a solid choice if you're chasing a personal best or prefer a predictable race day without battling hills. This is a straightforward marathon for runners who want to focus on effort and pacing rather than technical climbing, so come prepared to run efficiently from start to finish.
