The Dorset Gravel Dash is the original gravel and bike packing adventure on the best trails in Dorset, England.
The Kinesis UK 2025 Dorset Gravel Dash offers two different events on the same route on an action packed and fun weekend on 23/24 May 2026.
This was the first gravel event in the UK, and is the perfect way to experience the rugged beauty of Dorset and the Jurassic Coast with fine gravel riding, camaraderie and castles.
2 Day Kinesis Dorset Gravel Dash 50:50
The two day bike packing adventure weekend.
Starting and finishing at a pub near the seaside, your two day adventure will take you on a beautiful 100 mile route around Dorset.
Half way round you will roll into the Gravel Dash camp complete with fresh hot food, and Jules the friendly farmer with his bar in a horsebox.
1 Day Kinesis Dorset Gravel Dash 100 mile
This is the original gravel challenge. 100 miles in one go.
You can expect every variation of terrain Dorset has, from fast rolling back roads, dusty heathlands, woodland singletrack, and of course, lots of gravel.
Your epic day out concludes with a hearty cheer as you roll into the garden of a charming coastal pub.
NEW for 2026. 1 Day Kinesis Dorset Gravel Dash 100 KM
A shorter 100km (65 mile) one day challenge.
The best of Dorset in a bite sized 100km format, rather than the original 100 mile (155km).
Enjoy your day out, stop and take in the view, have a nice pub lunch or picnic. Yes, its easier than the 100 mile route, but it is still a big day out and a true challenge.
