DIRTY WARRNY UPDATE.
It’s with genuine disappointment that we share the news that, due to unforeseen challenges, the 2025 DIRTY WARRNY will not go ahead. We know this will come as a surprise, and we sincerely apologise to everyone who’s been preparing, training, and looking forward to race day.

Since taking on the event, we’ve been blown away by its history, community, and potential. The DIRTY WARRNY is an Australian gravel icon — and we truly believe it can stand among the best gravel events in the world.

Over the past few months, our focus has been on reimagining what this event can become: not just a ride, but an experience that truly captures the grit, adventure, and spirit of the gravel community. To deliver on that vision, and to resolve the unexpected, we know more time and a longer runway will allow us to take the event to the next level — to elevate every detail and deliver something truly special.

In turn we, the organiser (LOCALE), have informed the Dirty Warrny Working Committee, and the Warrnambool Citizens Road Race Committee, that this year’s edition will not proceed.

We’re choosing to deliver something world-class — all while aligning the event with evolving statutory obligations and ensuring the highest level of safety for all participants along the way. .
WHAT’S NEXT

The DIRTY WARRNY will return in November 2026 — refreshed, ambitious, & better than ever. Expect a premium gravel experience: bigger community involvement, enhanced rider support, & more reason than ever to make the journey.

All currently riders are being contacted.

While currently paused, Online Entry for the 2026 DIRTY WARRNY will reopen shortly..
FROM THE TEAM

We share in the disappointment of this decision — but also in the excitement for what’s ahead. The DIRTY WARRNY deserves the very best version of itself, & that’s exactly what we’re setting out to deliver.

We’re deeply grateful for your understanding and continued support — from riders and sponsors to local partners and the wider cycling community.

The DIRTY WARRNY 2026 will be one for the books.

See you on the gravel.

Sincerely,
The Dirty Warrny Team.

The has established itself as Australia’s most iconic gravel event. And for 2025, we’ve made it even better..
The legendary 250km route has been reimagined - trimmed to 230KM+ and refined with a smoother profile, cutting out ~750 metres of climbing. The result? A course that keeps all the grit, adventure and prestige of the DIRTY WARRNY, but opens the door for more riders to test themselves against the challenge..
Alongside the reworked 230km epic, we’re keeping the popular 140KM- and 80KM+ options. Whether you’re chasing glory at the front of the big one, soaking up the atmosphere on the middle distance, or building confidence on the shorter ride, there’s a DIRTY WARRNY experience for every rider..
It’s still epic. It’s still iconic. But now it’s just that little more achievable - whichever distance you choose. The DIRTY WARRNY has evolved. The spirit remains. .
