The Duchenne Dash is open to keen and confident cyclists over 18 years old, who can commit to the challenge of cycling 300KM in 24hrs and also raising £4,000 for Duchenne UK.

If you are joining as part of a team or with a group of friends, we will need you to confirm either a team name, or the name of the team/group leader/coordinator. This will enable us to know who is joining with who for planning and organisational purposes.

Registration closes on Friday 1^st April 2022 at 23:00.

You will pay for your registration fee upon sign up. The link will be provided when registration goes live.

You will also be required to submit an event registration and medical form as part of the registration process.

We ask that all participants commit to fundraising a minimum of £4,000.00. The total can include any Gift Aid or Match Funding you are entitled too. Duchenne UK will be able to provide fundraising support and assistance, so you won’t be doing it alone!

We ask that you make every effort to raise the suggested fundraising amount. Please contact a member of the team ([email protected]) if you have any concerns and they will be able to provide further advice.

Our main aim for the 2022 Dash is to cycle to Paris and unless the international boarder is once again closed, or unworkable quarantine on either side is required, we will do everything we can to ensure we get to Paris. 

In the unlikely event of closed borders or quarantine requirements on either side we have planned a back-up a UK-based Dash event that will come into effect if needed to ensure that we will cycle together on 10th June 2022. More information about this UK-based event will be shared as and when is necessary.

Yes! The Duchenne Dash AT HOME first took place in 2020 during the UK lockdown, giving Dashers the chance to set their own KM challenge and achieve it in their own way. Thanks to the success of this inclusive event, we brought it back for 2021 and plan to relaunch the Dash AT HOME in 2022.
