Dundee’s Dennis and Gnash Dash - everything you need to know

The world's first Dennis and Gnash Dash is happening in Dundee next month - and here’s everything you need to know to take part.

The ‘ funnest of fun runs ’ will turn Dundee’s streets red and black in tribute to the naughtiest schoolboy in town.

All ages are welcome to run, walk, wheel or hop the route dressed in the legendary Dennis the Menace colours with Gnasher look-a-likes also welcome.

The Dennis and Gnash Dash is a fun run around Dundee city centre, on closed roads.

The dash will start and finish in City Square, with a circular route that can be run twice to make approximately 4km, or just once if 2km is enough.

Volunteers and stewards will be along the route to direct participants.

The Dash happens on Sunday, July 17 with last minute registrations in City Square at 9am.

The Dennis warm-up begins at 10.10am with the race kicking off at 10.30am.

After the race runners can pose for selfies with their exclusive 'I ran the Dennis and Gnash Dash' badge, and stay for the rest of the festival fun in the city centre.

The outfit guide is simple - any red and black t-shirts, shorts, jumpers, jackets, trackie bottoms or trews will do.

Everybody gets a participant badge and medals will be awarded for best costume, biggest hat, cheeriest dog, biggest smile, most enthusiasm, and most mischievous Dennis.
