Event founder Paul McIntyre said: “The Dabbers Dash has always been about bringing people together, promoting healthy living, and making Barony Park accessible to everyone.
“It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come as a community project, and I can’t wait to see new faces and familiar friends at our first event of 2025.”
Since its inception as a virtual Parkrun alternative in February 2022, the Dabbers Dash has become a popular community event in Nantwich.
The initiative highlights the need for a perimeter path in Barony Park, advocating for a safe and traffic-free environment for running, walking, wheeling, and learning to cycle.
In 2024, it won named England Athletics’ National Volunteer Award for Community Project of the Year and England Athletics’ North West Region Community Project of the Year Award.
Founder Paul also won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2024 Unsung Hero (North West).
