The Dirty Docker 2026

Cobaw Ridge provides the challenge: quiet Macedon Ranges countryside, undulating pea-gravel roads, sparse rock formations, and trails that feel authentic rather than manicured. The Dirty Docker 2026 returns for its third edition as a mixed-terrain weekend of gravel, cyclocross, and trail running, with a "off-road thrills, mud, sweat, and beers" atmosphere that appeals to those who prefer to finish dusty rather than clean. Expect surfaces to shift beneath you, from gravel and mud to sand, with obstacles, twists, turns, and steep ascents. The participants are a true off-road blend: gravel cyclists, cyclocross racers, trail runners, newcomers trying their best, and children participating on traffic-free CX circuits. Lanny XC is described as "short, punchy, and anything but straightforward," while Cross Vegas prioritizes participation over outcomes, and the entire event embraces a spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and enjoyment.
