Sadly this year's Denby Dash has been CANCELLED due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The 5th edition of this friendly fundraising event is now expected to take place on 30th August 2021
The 4th edition of the event took place in 2019 on a bright & sunny August Bank Holiday Monday with 155 Seniors getting very hot & bothered over the rolling 5.6 mile course and 53 juniors earning their free pot of local ice cream over the shorter courses. The senior race saw an epic battle with winner Scott Hinchcliffe just pipping last year's winner David Green to the finish line, with both runners breaking the course record.

Interested in being a Dash 'Racemaker'?
If you are not a runner but would like to be involved, we need lots of Dash 'Racemaker' volunteers to help with various tasks on race day (eg. registration, marshalling, timekeeping) as well as course preparation and baking flapjack & cakes ahead of race day. Donations of prizes (such as garden produce, bottles of wine/beer, chocolates and cakes) would also be very welcome.
Please contact Anne Middleton (annemiddleton60@gmail.com) or talk to Dean at The George Inn if you would like to help.
