Dirty Reiver 2026

Now in its 11th year (and 10th edition) the Panaracer Dirty Reiver continues to be the gravel event in the calendar. Attracting riders from around the world the routes use the extensive forest access road network in the Northern English Borders.

There really is nowhere in the UK like this for riding and with distances from 65km to 200km there is something for all riders. Whether you are out for an early season leg tester, looking for an adventurous day in the saddle or trying gravel for the first time.

The 200km full distance is a rite of passage in the gravel world – a real test of stamina, skill and self reliance. Expect to be 95% on gravel for the full ride!

Our ‘Gravel Expo’, in the event village showcases some of the best brands in the industry. Set in the Kielder Castle grounds with food, drink, showers and barista coffee all on site.
