OUR UK GRAVEL EVENTS 

DSC09264.jpg

The first and most iconic Gravel Event in the UK.

 

The Dirty Reiver attracts 2000 riders from around the World to ride the vast network of trails in Kielder Forest and the Northern English Borders.

Starting in the beautiful setting of the castle grounds, the event is suited to riders of all abilities from Tour de France pros to first time gravel riders. Kielder has gravel trails like nowhere else in the UK.

 

Distances vary from 65km to 200km for those wanting a challenge or a big day out on the bike.

 

The Dirty Reiver takes place in late April and is a great way to kick off the gravel cycling calendar for the year.

​

Gravel Rocks: The Ultimate Summer Gravel Riding and Trail Running Festival
Gravel Rocks is a multi-day, multi-sport enduro-style event that brings together riders and runners for an unforgettable summer festival. Set within the exclusive Duncombe Park Estate in the North York Moors, participants can experience world-class off-road trails, pristine paths, and breathtaking vistas - a true playground for adventure seekers.

​

Adventure, Challenge, and Mystery
Across two action-packed days, athletes will tackle timed segments (exact number depending on distance), including two Friday night timed segments in Gravel Rocks in the Dark. But there’s a twist: the locations of each timed segment are a mystery until you uncover them along the route, adding an element of surprise and excitement to every step or pedal stroke. Not racing? No problem - come for the trails, the camaraderie, and the festival atmosphere.

NEW FOR 2025: 

​

Dalby Grit is a completely new gravel race set within Dalby Forest, on the southern edge of the North York Moors National Park.

​

We have chosen 110km of the finest gravel roads and linking-trails in the area. Expect close racing on punchy climbs, fast descents and long flatter sections where you can really get the power down!

​

The stage is set, mark your calendar - the Dalby Grit Gravel Race is one event you won’t want to miss.

JUST.GRAVEL brings you the best gravel riding in the southern Lake District, in collaboration with Forestry England.

 

It provides an ​opportunity for first-time gravel riders to get involved in a professionally organised event and experience the joy of organised social riding.

 

For regular gravel riders, the longer distance is a chance to explore the hidden corners of the forest and test yourself on more challenging terrain.​

 

JUST.GRAVEL is a fully inclusive event, with classes and distances for all riders, and guaranteed places for women and families. We offer a choice of three routes, all starting from the Grizedale Visitor Centre at the heart of the forest and the Lake District National Park.
