Grinduro Scotland 2026

Grinduro Scotland 2026 is a festival-style gravel event held at Drumlanrig Castle on the Queensberry Estate in Dumfries & Galloway. The format blends a long approximately 100 km loop of pavement and dirt with four separately timed segments, so performance is judged on stage times rather than overall loop time. The weekend is built around a mass-start Grinduro Ride and a secondary Grindurito option, alongside a broader festival village offering talks, films, workshops and live music.

The event is presented within the South Scotland Outdoor Festival programme and takes place across 26–28 June 2026, with the main race day on Saturday 27 June. Camping is available on site but must be purchased separately from sports tickets, and e-bikes are welcome though the e-bike category is run as an untimed, social option. The setting in the historic Drumlanrig Castle grounds emphasises scenic riding, festival atmosphere and local food and entertainment for participants and visitors alike.
