Abstract: We consider the moduli space $mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ of Riemann surfaces of genus $gge0$ with $nge1$ ordered and directed marked points. For $dge2g+n-1$, we show that $mathfrak{M}_{g,n}$ is homotopy equivalent to a component of the generalised Hurwitz space $mathrm{Hur}^{Delta}(mathfrak{S}_d^{mathrmgeo})$, associated with the partially multiplicative quandle $mathfrak{S}_d^{mathrmgeo}$. As an application, we give a new proof of the Mumford conjecture on the stable rational cohomology of moduli spaces of Riemann surfaces. We also provide a combinatorial model for the infinite loop space $Omeg{a}^{infty-2}mathrmMTSO(2)$ of Hurwitz flavour.
