About Dirty Jutland
Dirty Jutland is a long-distance gravel cycling event following Denmark’s west coast, with a choice of four challenges ranging from approximately 130 km to 580 km.
Riders travel north through Jutland on a mixture of gravel tracks, forest roads, paths, sandy sections and paved roads, finishing in Skagen at the northern tip of Denmark.
The event is designed as a participation-focused endurance challenge rather than a competitive race. Although finishing times are recorded, the emphasis is on completing the journey and experiencing the varied terrain and coastal landscapes.
The four challenges have different starting locations, with the longer distances involving extended periods of riding and potentially overnight travel.
