APRIL 1999
- 18 Sun: London Marathon, Greenwich.
  The 1999 London Marathon will take place on Sunday 18 April 1999. Applications are now closed, though you might still be able to enter through your club or via a charity (try Get Kids Going!). Organized by The London Marathon Ltd., 0171-928 8844; 0171-620 4117. Intending entrants from outside the UK should telephone +44 161 703 8161, or write to Vince Regan, Flora London Marathon 1999, Sports Tours International, 91 Walkden Road, Manchester M28 5DQ, United Kingdom.

MABAC fixtures are held jointly with other running clubs in our area.

This is a series of eleven Sunday morning races throughout the year, particularly aimed at the fun runner. Points are gained by every Windmiler who completes the course. The clubs in the league take turns to act as host. These are very popular cross-country events, open to all members and guests, held in some beautiful parts of the Surrey countryside. As well as the senior race of just over 8 km / 5 miles they include joggers' and junior events of about 4 km / 2.5 miles. (The Windsor and Cranleigh races are different -- longer, and on roads.) Runners have been known to find a pub for a drink afterwards. To take part, either make your way directly to the venue (maps available on this website, or from committee members), or turn up at the Windmill car park at around 09.15 for directions, or to get a lift. Running numbers will be given out at the event itself.
