About the event
This is an adventure ride like NO other! The 2026 Dusty Butt - Covering over 1400km, and ridden over 3 days...This is one true iconic adventure!
After making a big change in 2024 due to safety with more and more users on many of the shared trails than before, we have decided to continue with running this event over mid-weeks days, rather than over a weekend. And in doing so, it has proved to be so much quieter on all the shared trails - far safer and much much more enjoyable for everyone!
2026 Dusty Butt dates will be held Tuesday 17th - Thursday 19th February.
You will need accommodation in Fairlie for Monday 16th for the dinner, registration and briefing, and in Alexandra for 17th and 18th, and back in Fairlie on the Thursday 19th.
Are you ready for the ride of your life? Then get ready now....3 days, 1400km, and the…
