About MABAC

MABAC arranges a series of free league races throughout the year, suitable for all standards of runner. They are only open to member clubs and their guests. Most are cross-country events held on Sunday mornings in some beautiful parts of the Surrey countryside, and are very popular with club members and guests. As well as the senior race of just over 8 km (5 miles) there are also jogger and junior events of about 4 km (2.5 miles).

In addition, MABAC organises two popular open races:

Cranleigh 7-14-21 – A unique challenge event where you can choose your distance on the day – 7, 14, or 21 miles – even after you have started running.

Surrey Slog Half Marathon – A challenging cross country half marathon on the beautiful Holmbury Hill.

MABAC is affiliated to the Association of Running Clubs.

MABAC History

The name MABAC dates from 1977 when the league was first set up. The prime mover was Alan Blatchford, who died in September 1980. He organized a running group at the British Airways Corporation works in Weybridge (now British Aerospace). Ralph Henley brought in runners from Matthew Arnold School, Ashford. Hence MA-BAC.
