Moyleman 2017

[Charliecat5]

This is something we’re really quite proud of.    

The first proper year of the Moyleman cost us money.  All the Moyleman Committee funded it to an extent, but Ash and I put quite a bit of dosh in to make it work.   However, as numbers have grown over the last couple of years we have made a surplus, and this year our account is looking pretty healthy. 

We need to keep a float ready for next year, but it has been agreed by the Moyleman Committee that we’ll give the rest (a tidy £5,000) to Martlets Hospice who looked after Chris so well when he was ill.

As is fitting for the Moyleman, we are going to hand over this cheque at the top of a hill (Firle carpark at the top of the Borstal) on the 15th July, probably at noon.  We’ll be inviting runners, marshals, supporters to join us… and will announce the date of next year’s run while we’re at it.

We only ever set out to put on proper trail run, for runners by runners… so we love the idea that our surplus funds are going to charity.  It is keeping with the whole ethos of what this race is about.
