THE ROUTE

THE 230KM+ DIRTY WARRNY:

THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERES GREATEST GRAVEL MONUMENT

From the vibrant city of Geelong, the Dirty Warrny’s “Gravel Monument” course embarks on a journey that showcases some of the most stunning scenery not only in Victoria but in all of Australia. Ride through the ethereal expanse of the Otways, where towering forests stand as sentinels of nature’s grandeur. Traverse onward to the Heytesbury region, where the rhythmic undulations of rolling hills beckon every rider.

But the essence of the Dirty Warrny doesn’t end in forests and hills. As riders emerge from the dense woods, they are greeted by the vast stretches of straight roads leading towards the heart of Warrnambool. Along the way, iconic locations like Deans Marsh, Forrest, and Timboon add layers of depth to the journey, each with its own unique beauty and challenge.

The culmination is a surreal experience. As the plains of Heytesbury give way, riders find themselves on the serene Warrnambool beach, with the ocean’s rhythm serving as the final note to their symphony of effort. The Dirty Warrny isn’t just another gravel ride; it offers a panoramic view of the Victorian countryside, encapsulating experiences and sights that remain unparalleled in any other event. With this ride, you’re not only riding gravel – you’re embracing the very soul of Australia.

THE RIDE

STILL EIPC. STILL ICONIC.
NOW JUST THAT LITTLE MORE ACHIEVABLE.

The long-course DIRTY WARRNY 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.

It’s still epic. It’s still a true badge of honour. But now it’s just that little more achievable. The DIRTY WARRNY has evolved. The spirit remains.
