They will ride for up to nine hours a day, traversing mountain trails, rural villages, and the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, before finishing at the Ngorongoro Crater National Park.
As well as supporting the 'Bikes Against Bombs' initiative, Mr Rowan is keen to use the ride to raise money for Dunns' Scottish charity partners.
Mr Rowan, who has been with the firm since 1989, said: "Taking part in this challenge reflects the values we hold as a company.
"I wanted to mark the 150th milestone by doing something that makes a real difference to the lives of others.
"It's a privilege to ride in support of these causes, and it's been a privilege to spend so much of my working life as part of this company.
"It's going to be incredibly tough, but it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'm hoping through the generosity of sponsors will make a meaningful impact to the two Dunns' charities."
Founded in 1875, Dunns is one of Scotland's longest-established wholesalers.
The company has announced plans for future growth while maintaining its commitment to community and charity efforts.
Julie Dunn, managing director, said: "The whole team is behind Jim and incredibly proud of what he's doing.
"Charity and community have been central to Dunns since day one, and I couldn't think of a better way to mark our 150th anniversary celebrations."

Inside a pivotal week on Skye's energy future as 50 more turbines
Three new planning applications — totalling 50 turbines up to 200 metres high — were lodged this week for sites at Glen Ullinish, Ben Sca, and Balmeanach. The developments add to the growing number of wind energy proposals across the island, with more than 130 turbines now either operational, approved, or awaiting consent. The timing of the new applications has drawn sharp criticism from community members already engaged in the inquiry over the Ben Aketil Wind Farm repowering. That project, led by developer Nadara, would double the height of existing turbines and extend the operational lifespan of the site. At the public hearing earlier this week, Highland Tory councillor Ruraidh Stewart said the pace and scale of development was putting serious pressure on local authorities and communities. 'I was really speaking on behalf of the community, saying that a lot of people had contacted me about this development as it came through the process. Public speaking isn't a natural thing for many — they don't want to get involved in inquiries, he said in an interview with The National after the session. 'What they're proposing for Ben Aketil is 200-metre wind turbines. That's hard to visualise with no context — but for comparison, that's about the height of the observation deck of The Shard. 'Putting something like that in the middle of Skye is just, by and large, inappropriate. I made the comparison in the inquiry: Skye is the second most visited tourist destination in all of Scotland, only behind Edinburgh. 'If someone proposed putting wind turbines on top of Arthur's Seat, they'd be laughed out of a planning meeting.' READ MORE: Lesley Riddoch: Highlanders are rallying against Scotland's energy land grab Landowners and campaigners have also raised doubts over the promised benefits of repowering. Charles MacDonald, who owns land near the Ben Aketil site, told the inquiry that developers were overstating local gains, revealing that no jobs had been promised. He shared that he had turned down three separate wind farm offers. Each company had made it clear that the construction phase wouldn't involve any local labour — workers would be brought in, complete the job, and leave. Just 1.2 maintenance positions are expected to be delivered from the repowerment at Ben Aketil. Campaigner Thor Klein (below), who attended this week's hearings, echoed that frustration. 'You've got consultants giving expert testimony who haven't even visited Skye. One of the cultural heritage experts admitted her whole report was done from a desk.' He said the inquiry revealed a 'lack of preparedness' by developers, and called on Scottish ministers to pause new approvals until a full review of the Scotland's energy strategy can be completed. 'Even the applicant had to admit there's no comprehensive plan connecting these various wind farm projects,' Klein said. 'That lack of oversight is frankly shocking. We're facing a massive infrastructure transformation, but there's no roadmap. This leaves local councils like Highland Council completely overwhelmed, because corporations push multiple developments simultaneously, hoping something sticks. 'It's not a sustainable governance model, and I hope the reporter takes note of that.' He also said there was 'little to no community benefit'. Nadara, the developer behind Ben Aketil, has claimed that its existing wind farm has delivered £700,000 in community benefits. But critics argue that amounts to just £1685 per megawatt—far below the Scottish Government's non-binding benchmark of £5000 per MW set in 2014. READ MORE: 53 community councils unite to demand Highland energy projects pause Stewart, who is also a crofter, noted the community was disillusioned with the process, but said he was glad to see so many locals attending the sessions throughout the week. 'By and large, the majority of the community opposes it. But there's a real disillusionment with the process. 'From what I've heard, the council, who objected, and the Skye Wind Information Group, who instructed their own experts, made very compelling points for refusal. 'But there's still doubt whether those views will be meaningfully considered. 'Look at the Ackron Wind Farm decision in East Sutherland. The government reporter recommended refusal, but Scottish ministers approved it anyway. 'There's a disconnect — a lack of trust that even after participating in the process, communities will be heard.' Originally the council objected due to peatland impact, in line with another statutory body. The developers then reconfigured the turbine layout to avoid some peat areas, and those objections were withdrawn. Stewart believes that on paper, the peat restoration plans sound reasonable. But the best protection for peat 'is not damaging it in the first place,' he said. 'Especially when so much of this power might never reach the market. Digging up thousands of tonnes of peatland in the name of green energy doesn't sit right with me. 'Peatland is vital for ecosystems, carbon storage, and climate resilience. 'The first Ben Aketil wind farm was supposed to operate for 33 years — now, 18 years in, they're digging it up and starting again. 'It happens time and again as turbines get bigger — they just dig up more.' Residents have also raised fears over infrastructure, emergency planning, and fire risk. Turbine components would arrive via the pier at Kyle of Lochalsh and travel by truck to remote sites on Skye. But Klein said there were no detailed transport plans provided yet — only verbal assurances. 'We're talking about massive vehicles on single-track roads,' he said. 'And no one has explained how they'll deal with emergencies—especially fires at battery storage sites, which local fire services are not equipped to handle.' Looking Ahead With more projects entering the planning system each week, residents fear a tipping point is approaching. 'Right now, there are three more applications on the table—this week alone,' said Klein. 'That's another 50 turbines. It's too much, too fast, with too little oversight.' As the volume of projects increases, pressure is growing on Scottish ministers to intervene. Both campaigners and councillors are calling for a coordinated national strategy that balances renewable energy goals with the protection of local communities and landscapes. 'I'm not against wind turbines or anything like that,' Klein said. 'it's really crucial to ask for a pause — to evaluate, think it through, and then make decisions. 'Because you're overwhelming local democratically elected bodies. It's a big danger."

Hamza Igamane's Rangers transfer value debated as £6m Celtic man triggers stick or twist dilemma
The stakes are high and it's Game On for our top team as they race through the burning issues Can Rangers new era end Celtic dominance? | How much for Hamza? | Can Celts trust Trusty? - Game On Hamza Igamane appears to be edging towards the Ibrox exit door - but just how much is the Rangers sensation worth? The Moroccan striker's stock has exploded after an eye-catching debut campaign in Scotland. Unearthed last summer from AS Far Rabat for a bargain £1.7million, Gers could rake in one of their biggest transfer sales for the 22-year-old as Lille target a big-money swoop. If you listen to supporters online, then the Light Blues should be holding out for £15-20m. But is that realistic? Record Sport's chief chinwagers, Graeme Young and Ryan McDonald, dissected the in-demand frontman's soaring value in this week's episode of Game On - available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The future of Celtic stopper Auston Trusty also comes under the spotlight, while the lads discuss whether Hearts will ever be able to break the Old Firm's grim 40-year duopoly. There's all this and more as we pore over all the big issues in Scottish sport and beyond - in handy bite-sized chunks. You can watch the full podcast in the player above, or listen here. How much is Hamza Igamane really worth? RM: I think anything upwards of £15million would be great business for Rangers. What did they sign him for? Around £1.7m? That would be an incredible markup. I think this rebuild is going to be a slow process, so if you can get that amount of money in during the first window, then you've got to take it. There are no untouchables in that Rangers squad just now. GY: Not even Nico Raskin? RM: No. He's got two years left on his contract. If he doesn't sign a new contract, then Rangers need to cash in. Look what happened with Ryan Kent, Alfredo Morelos, John Lundstram and even Borna Barisic. Rangers have got shrewd owners in place now. They need to follow Celtic's act by cashing in when the time is right. GY: I've got to give a shout out to Record Sport's columnist Tam McManus because he went studs up and suggested that Igamane doesn't really do it for him. I can just use what Tam said! Do you think he's a player where you can make a six minute, streets won't forget, highlights reel? Does he do it in complete games and is this actually really good business for Rangers' new owners straight away? RM: I think he had a purple patch, didn't he? I remember that hat-trick at Easter Road. He was in phenomenal form at that point. He did fall out of the team under Barry Ferguson, especially towards the end. I'm not sure the reasons for that. He was played out of position at times as well and clearly has bundles of potential. On the basis of what he's shown in his first season when he has played, I think you've got to take the £15m. And if they can sneak in a sell-on fee, which you've seen Celtic profit from, then even better business for Rangers. GY: The one thing I've been really impressed with Igamane is not even his goals. You know when he takes the ball into his feet, takes it up the line, wins throw ins. He's a proper talent. I think the next manager who looks after him is going to have a proper job to bring it out every week. But if you do, like you say, the sell-on fee could be really important for them as well. Should Celtic stick or twist with Auston Trusty? GY: Auston Trusty is probably the most polarising player within himself to play for Celtic in recent memory. John Mjalby esque European level performances. Elite level player in some games like Atlanta away and Bayern Munich at home. But he's struggled mightily dealing with the more physical style of player that you come up against in Scotland. Industrial strikers, we'll call them. That's part of Scottish football you have to do both. Would you cash in on him to open up the potential to find a real partner for CCV? Fans don't believe Liam Scales is that guy. RM: For me, he reminds me very much of Kelvin Wilson, who I actually just interviewed earlier this week. Kelvin took a season to find his feet, he was in and out and had a couple of injuries. The second season, he really established himself. It took one performance for him to say, 'this is the turning point, I'm now a Celtic player'. He became a mainstay in the famous Champions League last 16 run. I think with Auston Trusty, if no offers come in, I think he's worth a second season. You can't write off a £6m signing. He's a USA international, he gets on well with Cameron Carter-Vickers. He's proven at Champions League level, but the rough nature of Scottish football... I remember that Dundee and there were a few lip-reading experts who decoded what Brendan Rodgers said about him on the touchline! GY: 'Weak as powder?' RM: I think that's one way to say it! He has a lot to prove. I think he'll know that as well. Unless Celtic can recoup their money this season, I would stick with him. I do think Celtic will bring in defensive reinforcements. CCV is clearly the first-choice at centre-back, but they do need to find a solid number one. GY: When you factor in Maik Nawrocki and Gustaf Lagerbielke are both likely to leave. I think we've argued the case that Trusty has a lot more ability and performed at an elite level. But the issue is you can't trust him domestically. Just talking about finding bargains, they really need to find that partner for Carter-Vickers and maybe that will happen over the summer."
