The 2026 season is locked, loaded, and built to push you to the limit. Three rounds. Two brutal endurance races. One flat-out short course that’ll have you on the edge from start to finish.
The ultimate triple crown.
We’re kicking off and wrapping up the year with the endurance rounds – giving you the breathing room to get your rigs dialled, battle-hardened, and ready to go again. The short course? Right in the middle to keep things spicy. The season finale is a second hard as nails endurance race across brutal cross country terrain.
You’ll notice we’ve left July and August wide open. That’s on purpose. It’s your chance to hit the big shows and festivals tied in with Dirt Nationals – a prime opportunity to show off your build, meet the fans, and fly the flag for off-road racing.
See more round info below.
MAY 1st – 3rd 2026
Dorset
Sand & forest endurance – A battle through grit and ancient woodland. Competitors from across the UK and beyond converge on Dorset’s wilds to face a brutal cocktail of shifting sands and unforgiving forest floor.
Loose and relentless, the teams claw through dunes and treelines in a battle against the earth itself.
JUNE 19th – 21st
Colsterworth Rd, Stainby, Lincolnshire NG33 5QP – SHORT COURSE
Tight, technical, and utterly unforgiving. Competitors thread through dense woodland where wing mirrors go to die, before climbing gradients that laugh at your clutch.
And then there’s the quarry. Flooded. Deep. Silent. One wrong line and you’re swimming home.
Fast laps. No mercy. Don’t blink.
September 11th – 13th
High Barn Ln, Whitworth, Rochdale OL12 8XG
Arockalypse is the crown jewel of punishment – a two-day endurance war of human, machine, and earth. Competitors from across the UK and beyond descend on Cowm to take on some of the nastiest terrain ever to chew through tyres and egos.
Rocky and winding, the teams battle it out in the coliseum of Cowm.
We’re bookending the year with the endurance rounds — one to kick things off, one to finish it with a bang.
July and August? Left open on purpose, so you can hit the shows, rep the sport, and keep the noise alive.
