What is the Duchenne Dash?

The Duchenne Dash is Duchenne UK’s annual signature cycling event. Over the past 14 years, the Dash has grown into our biggest and most challenging fundraising event of the year and has raised more than £9 million for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) research.

Why should you do the Dash?

Robin Strong first heard about the Duchenne Dash when riding with a group of cyclists from Wimbledon, one being Ride Captain Will Pearson, who asked Robin to be a Ride Captain in 2017.

My first Dash as a Ride Captain was 2017 and I have ridden every year since. In 2018, I was a Ride Captain in the DashMax, continuing from Paris for another 700 miles to Monaco. In 2021, I was one of a few Ride Captains who rode back from Paris on Sunday, getting back to London at lunchtime on Monday.

He’s taken part in the Dash every year since.
