MABAC Running League
Clubs in SW London, Surrey,
Middlesex, England
MABAC
arranges a series of races throughout the year, particularly aimed
at the fun runner. 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 joggers'
and junior events of about 4 km (2.5 miles). Afterwards, runners
have been known to find a local pub. Other events are also held,
including longer open races. See

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 Aircraft Corporation works in Weybridge (now British Aerospace). Ralph Henley brought in runners from Matthew Arnold School, Ashford. Hence MA-BAC.
