The Dirty Reiver
Now in its 10th year (and 9th edition) the Panaracer Dirty Reiver continues to be the gravel event in the UK calendar. Attracting riders from around the world the routes use the extensive forest access road network in the Northern English Borders.
With distances from 65km to 200km there is something for all riders with all routes taking in the best ‘hero’ gravel in the area.
The 200km full distance is a rite of passage in the gravel world and a real test of stamina, skill and self reliance. Expect to be 95% on gravel for the full ride – something that you cannot experience anywhere else in the UK!
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.
