Dunoon Dirt Dash 2026

Join us for a cycling event and a fun and inclusive weekend in a great natural environment. The Lezyne Dunoon Dirt Dash bikepacking event in Scotland takes you in two days through the stunning surroundings of the Cowal Peninsula near Glasgow to enjoy the the rugged beauty of Scotland’s Adventure Coast on some of the best gravel trails in Scotland.

The Dirt Dashes are friendly, professionally designed gravel riding events that mix great routes, local character, and a strong sense of community. They’re built around the idea that riders come first: many participants return year after year.

The Dirt Dashes have a strong community vibe: our events genuinely feel like a big riding family. You ride routes planned by Markus Stitz, a seasoned route designer with multiple gravel and bikepacking guidebooks to his name. We use local caterers and quirky, memorable start/finish locations and throughout the weekend you can enjoy a well-supported, relaxed atmosphere: challenging but approachable rides in stunning landscapes.
