The Duchenne Dash is Duchenne UK’s annual signature cycling event. Over the past 13 years, the Dash has grown into our biggest and most challenging fundraising event of the year and has raised more than £7.3 million for DMD research.
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.

Cycle from London to Paris in just 24 hours whilst raising vital donations to help Duchenne UK find effective treatments for DMD.
Your journey will start at the Herne Hill Velodrome, South East London, working your way down the country to Newhaven and boarding the overnight ferry to Dieppe. You'll get the chance to rest before getting straight back on the saddle, taking in the stunning views of the French countryside and towns on your way to the French capital. You will arrive at the triumphant finish line under the Eiffel Tower.
We will celebrate with a dinner and overnight stay right by the Eiffel Tower. You will make friends and memories that will last a life-time, whilst also bringing hope to thousands of families across the UK.
This is a truly VIP cycling experience, your bags, crossings, accommodation, meals and snacks will all be taken care of for you. All you need to do is keep peddling and raising vital funds to support Duchenne UK’s life changing work.
