The Dirty Docker Festival 2026
The Dirty Docker is a two-day off-road festival in the Macedon Ranges held over October 10-11, 2026 in Lancefield at Fiesta Village and Lancefield Park, 69 Chauncey Street. The program combines gravel riding, cyclo-cross exhibitions, and short trail running events across a mix of gravel roads, mud, sand and trail features.
Event formats include gravel routes of varying lengths, cyclo-cross exhibition races called Cross Vegas, and the Lanny XC, a short trail race with obstacles and mud. The festival highlights a combined challenge called the Dirty Hatrick, which links the Cobawsome gravel event, Cross Vegas and the Lanny XC. There is also a Bush Beer Mile: a 400 m bush loop completed in four laps with a compulsory stop at the Bridge Road Brewers bar each lap; a non alcoholic beer option is available.
Available gravel distances include:
- POT : 65 km
- SCHOONER : 110 km
- PINT : 140 km
- Lanny Loop : 15 km
Camping and glamping are offered on site with two camp areas: Camp Cypress Pines away from the village and Camp Solstice near the event. Campsite access begins from 4pm, showers and power are available, a Bridge Road Brewery bar will operate, and BBQs are limited so attendees are advised to bring cooking gear. Saturday night features fire pits, saunas, ice baths, live music, food trucks and an outdoor bar.
Volunteer roles include registration, feed zones, marshalling and village duties; partners of volunteers may receive a free event entry. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
