Cateran Dirt Dash 2025

Join us for a cycling event and a fun and inclusive weekend in a great natural environment. The Cateran Dirt Dash bikepacking event takes you on two days through the stunning surroundings of the Cairngorms National Park to enjoy the dramatic scenery in the Cateran Ecomuseum.

It’s the perfect way to experience the rugged beauty of Scotland’s only museum without walls. This event has a shorter route than the Dashes in Yorkshire and Dunoon; it’s the perfect introduction to bikepacking in Scotland.

Your entry fee includes the route as GPX for navigation, electronic rider briefing, campsite, evening meal, breakfast, snacks and broom wagon.
