Pasty Dakar 2026 – Event Overview
A hybrid GPS and roadbook navigation challenge set on some of Devon’s finest green lanes.
Teams of 2–6 riders will navigate a network of waypoints using plotted coordinates, teamwork, and strategy.
Bike eligibility:
Road-legal trail, adventure, or even mopeds are welcome.
Enduro bikes are not allowed.
Teams must stay together at all times—no splitting up to collect extra points.
Classes
Novice – Slightly easier (but still challenging) lanes. Recommended for larger bikes or first-timers.
Experienced – Tougher, trickier lanes for those familiar with Devon’s green-lane terrain.
Navigation preparation is identical for both classes; only lane difficulty differs.
