Murray to Moyne

Murray to Moyne is a cycling fundraising event for experienced cyclists that has been running for over 30 years.

Founded in 1987 by the late Graham Woodrup and his wife, Hester, the event has raised millions of dollars to promote health services in Victoria.

The distances are immense, so the rides are completed as a relay with participating teams. Typically, a team will consist of 8-12 riders, team members, a support crew, and the riders. Generally, 2-4 riders of similar ability will relay with the other sub-groups in the team for a distance of 20 to 30km at a time.

Registrations must be completed for all team members, and forms are available on the event’s website. Riders in the Murray to Moyne Event must be at least 14.

There are three riding courses to choose from:
The “Night Ride”, a 520km distance relay that lasts all day Saturday, through the evening into Sunday
The “Day Timers”, a 250km to 300km distance relay that commences Saturday until dusk and finishes in either Horsham or Stawell (whichever is first by nightfall) with an additional 90kms on Sunday
The “Sunday Striders”, a 90km distance relay from Hamilton to Port Fairy on Sunday

The Murray To Moyne Has Two Goals:

• To raise funds for Hospitals and Health Services throughout Victoria and Australia. In the spirit of the Murray to Moyne, to raise much-needed funds for health care, every team must nominate which Hospital or Health Service—health-related charity—they will raise funds for when they register.
•  To continue Woody’s dream of getting more people to realise the fabulous health and social benefits of bike riding.
The Murray to Moyne is a team relay event, so you can get a group of workmates, family or friends together and register a team, or let them know, and they’ll try and put you in touch with some other people who are keen to start up a new team in your area.
