The Bo-Peep Dash needs ewe!

Derby Museums is challenging Marketing Derby Bondholders to take part in a dash around the Derby Ram Trail to help it raise cash.

Called the Bo-Peep Dash, the friendly, competitive, timed early morning dash is set to take place on Tuesday 27th July, from 7.30am to 8.30am.

The trail, which features 30 five foot tall rams, all sponsored by local businesses and organisations, including Marketing Derby, has already proven hugely popular with the public.

Now, as part of a series of planned activities, Derby Museums has announced the Bo-Beep Dash, a ticketed event where teams of up to six make their way around all the rams in 60 minutes, taking a selfie at each one.

Ram-themed team names and fancy dress are optional (though definitely encouraged!).

Prize categories include Trail Blazer (fastest), Beauty and the Sheep (best costume) and Lord of the Wool (highest fundraiser).

Participants will be invited for a coffee and pastry in the Museum of Making following the event.

Mohammed Suleman, director of resources at Derby Museums, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to reconnect their teams in a really fun way, while fundraising for Derby Museums.

“We have suggested minimum donation amounts for entering your teams and any extra donations in support of the Derby Ram Trail will also, of course, be very welcome.”
