Dirt Dash 2025

A Friendly Self-Supported Gravel Bikepacking Experience Around Dramatic Scenery - The Dirt Dash Events Return to Three of the UK’s Most Iconic National Parks in 2025.

DexShell are proud to support Dirt Dash again in 2025. These friendly and inclusive events are great for both experienced and first time bikpackers. 

The 2025 season kicks off with the Dexshell Cateran Dirt Dash on 3 & 4 May, followed by the Stans Yorkshire Coast Dirt Dash on 6 & 7 July, and concludes with the Lezyne Dunoon Dirt Dash on 27 & 28 September. 

Entries are £95 for each event, with a £5 discount for Cycling UK members. For the Dexshell Cateran Dirt Dash, up to 20 subsidised places are available at a reduced rate of £40, supported by the Drumderg Community Fund from SSE Renewables. These are prioritised for individuals living in the PH11 8 and PH10 7 postcodes, and for cyclists from underrepresented groups—including women, non-binary and LGBTQ+ riders, disabled people, people of colour and ethnic minorities, low-income individuals, older adults, carers, refugees and asylum seekers

Riders at the Dexshell Cateran Dirt Dash will also enjoy deeper engagement with the heritage of the Cateran Ecomuseum in 2025. Thanks to support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and komoot, 38 points of interest have been mapped along the two-day route and can be explored on the Ecomuseum’s Komoot channel. Highlights include the Kynballoch Stone, The Lunch Hut, Dirnanean, Diarmuid’s Tomb, and Loch Shandra.
