MABAC – Wisley – Purford Puffers

Sunday 16th November 2025

This is a 5 mile Cross Country event in the MABAC Running League series. The senior race is just over 8 km (5 miles) there are also joggers and junior events of about 4 km (2.5 miles). The event is open ONLY to members of the MABAC clubs.

Wisley Common is a new venue for MABAC and is taking place with the agreement of Surrey County Council, which owns the land, and the support of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is located in the triangle between the M25 and A3 at Junction 10, so easy to get to for most clubs. To access it, leave the A3 at the first exit after the M25 when heading towards Guildford (Ockham Park roundabout, what3words coins.ruins.cakes) then head down Wisley Lane for 1.4 miles. The car park will be signposted on the right (what3words for the entrance retire.being.belong), approximately 200 metres beyond the Wren’s Nest car park. Do NOT use any other car parks in the vicinity, as they are both less convenient and doing so will cause frustration to other users. Toilet facilities will be available in the car park. The starting point will be signposted from the car park but is on the common (what3words curiosity.takes.back.) While there should be ample car parking available, car-pooling is still recommended.

The course is a cross country one, with no steep hills but the surface is a mixture of track, sand and mud, and very uneven and rutted in parts. There is a very short stretch on tarmac (no more than 100 metres) so spikes are not advised. Studs or trail shoes should be ideal. 

If any visually impaired runners are considering taking part, they are advised to contact the organiser, Michael Reilly (Pyrford.Puffers@btinternet.com) after 4th November. He will be able to brief them in detail on the terrain and potential hazards to help them reach a decision.  Please note that in consideration of the marshals, a 30 minute cut-off will be imposed after the first lap. This should not be a problem for any regular MABAC runners.
