Entries open at 8am this morning for The Dirty Reiver.
Boasting new routes and an endless supply of fast-rolling "hero gravel", the UK's biggest gravel event returns for its 10th Anniversary edition on Saturday 24 April 2026.
Entries are guaranteed to sell out very quickly. To book your place, head over to the event website at dirtyreiver.co.uk.
Taking place in Kielder forest park near the English-Scottish borders of Northumberland, the Dirty Reiver is inspired by the Gravel Grinder race 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.
For 2026, there will be three new routes across the Dirty Reiver's now standard distances - 200km, 135km and 65km. Entries are £70 for the shortest distance and £85 for the two longer distances.
The weekend will also see another impressive roster of event partners: Panaracer are headline sponsors once again, joined by SRAM, Lauf, Camelbak and Wahoo.
Plans are already afoot for a number of exciting on-route brand activations to add to the atmosphere, whilst the buzz in the event village will go up a notch. The scale of interest and increased planning efforts have led to the Focal Events team opening entries a few months earlier than previous years.
