This year saw the Dirty Reiver take place in October - one of many sportives forced to reschedule amid andemic disruption.

2022 sees a return to the event's traditional date after the Easter holidays.

Taking place in Kielder forest park near the English-Scottish borders of Northumberland, the Reiver is inspired by the Gravel Grinder format originating in the American mid-west.

WIth on-site camping and a gravel expo, the Dirty Reiver attracts a packed field of gravel enthusiasts from across the UK and beyond.

Three routes will once again be on offer: the Dirty Reiver 200 (200km), Dirty One Thirty (130km) and the Dirty Sixty Fiver (65km).

E-bikes will also be allowed on the Sixty Fiver in the return of the Dirt-E-Reiver.

Entry for 2022 is priced £75 for the two longer distaces and £55 for the Sixty Fiver. Included in the entry fee is an event T shirt, sponsor goodies, feed stations, car parking for the weekend, and hot food and drink at the finish.

The Dirty Reiver is expected to sell out fast, so make a note in your diary for 1 December when entries open.
