DIRTY DINO GRAVEL RACE
A ride of prehistoric proportions

June 13, 2026
Vernal, Utah

Come get Jurass-kicked on 1 of the 3 amazing routes through the High Uinta Mountains. You'll experience a Rawr-some rush, as the gravel is T-riffic and the scenery is no eyeSAUR, but make sure you train for this one... you don't want a Mega-Saur-Ass.

Make a weekend of it! Vernal, Utah - AKA Dinosaurland - has everything to make your adventure accommodating and fun. There are plenty of hotels, camping spots and dining options in town. Dinosaurland has amazing bike trails, fishing, white water rafting, hiking to petroglyphs, museums, and of course all the dinos!
