The Dirty Docker 2026

Experience the untamed beauty of the Macedon Ranges at the 2026 Dirty Docker Festival, set for October 10-11. This year's edition promises to be even more exhilarating than its predecessors, offering a diverse array of off-road challenges across three thrilling disciplines: gravel, cyclocross, and trail running.
From Saturday morning until late into Sunday night, the festival will transform the rugged landscape into an adventure playground for all skill levels. Expect to navigate through challenging terrains, including winding dirt paths, muddy sections, sandy stretches, and obstacle courses that demand both physical prowess and mental fortitude.
The event is not just about competing; it’s a celebration of community and camaraderie. Enjoy live music under the stars on Saturday night as you bask in the festive atmosphere. Outdoor bar and food truck options will keep your spirits high throughout the weekend, while fire pits provide the perfect spot for post-race relaxation or pre-dawn warm-ups.
Camping and glamping are available to cater to every comfort level—whether you prefer a basic pitch under the stars or luxury tents with all modern conveniences. Marshals will ensure safety and support along your journey, while aid stations offer timely hydration and nutrition to keep you going strong until the finish line.
For those daring enough, take on multiple events in what’s being called the Dirty Trifecta: the Pint (140km), Schooner (110km), or Pot (65km) races. Each event offers a unique challenge and stunning scenery that will test your limits and reward you with unforgettable memories.
