Spectate or participate in the Dovedale Dash, a cross country race of 4.75 miles around the village of Thorpe near Ashbourne.

The Dovedale Dash is usually run by over 1200 people of all abilities. The course is mainly along field paths and open ground in the valleys of the river Dove and Manifold.

Registration from 9:am - make sure you arrive in plenty of time to secure parking. Please car-share if you can.

One of the excitements is the mass crossing of the River Dove at the well known stepping stones - this is a great place to spectate - its an easy downhill walk from the start/finish or you can park at Dovedale.

£10 in advance. Please register in advance to ensure your place. There will be a limited supply of on-th-day entries @ £12.

There is also a children's race, which doesn't go through the river - £5.
