Event Info 2024

The team behind the Dirty Warrny pride themselves on delivering exceptional and unforgettable events and the Dirty Warrny is no exception.

The safety and wellbeing of our riders, volunteers and workforce is paramount.

Support will be provided to riders at various check point locations along both routes. The support services provided will have medical assistance, mechanical support, hydration station and snacks. Additionally roving medical and support marshals will be available across all course distances.

We will be requiring all riders to self-support themselves for punctures and easy-fix mechanical mishaps as there could be wait times for a SRAM support marshal to reach you.

The full Dirty Warrny (DW) ride, the Forrest ride, and the Timboon ride will be conducted on open roads and as such riders MUST adhere to normal road regulations except at Dirty Warrny traffic-controlled points where marshals may be directing participants specifically.

All course options will be we marked with directional arrows and signage and have traffic management or marshals at most high traffic intersections.

Please follow any instructions given from a DW offical.

— This is a self-supported ride and riders are expected to bring appropriate clothing, food & spares.

— Feed stations will service basic needs such as water and snacks.

— Lights are recommended for all competitors given the early start and late finish of the rides.

— It is recommended that all riders download course maps to Garmin, Wahoo, Hammerhead, Bryton AND carry a mobile phone with course map loaded.
