See you next year!

Our 2022 event took place on Sunday 20 March 2022. Look out for announcements about our 2023 date later this year. Places will go on sale in mid October 2022

Finally, if you know now that you can’t make it in 2023 to run, but you can offer help marshalling, please do let us know! Our marshals are a vital part of Moyleman – we couldn’t hold the event without them.

All the best for your running in the months ahead!

moyleman 2021 event cancelled

Following the UK government announcement yesterday (4th January 2021), and in view of the rising levels of infection in the area, we have decided to cancel the 2021 race planned for mid-March.

We’ve carefully considered all possible options and take the view that now is the time to do all we can to help keep people safe. That includes our runners, our marshals, our volunteers and their families.

Like you, we are sad to lose this year’s event. We wanted to get this message out immediately, but we’d also like to set out our thinking behind this decision, so that will follow.

We’re also thinking of holding an online event where we can discuss planning for next year’s event. The race will next be held in March 2022. We’re looking at dates and will confirm this ASAP.

Stay at home, stay safe and healthy, follow the guidance and enjoy the hills and the trails responsibly.

All best wishes

This is the website for The Moyleman, the splendid off-road marathon held in the hills around Lewes, East Sussex, held in memory of Chris Moyle, a local runner who loved these hills. Ash Head and Duncan Rawson, Race Directors, remember Chris in this article from the Martlets hospice website, where Chris was cared for during his illness.

The most recent race took place on 12th March 2023.
