2025 Dirty Lemming

Unfortunately, due to some schedule conflicts, we are unable to host the 2025 Dirty Lemming Farm Edition in Brownton, MN.

We are working on organizing a Dirty Lemming Mountain Edition Ride in Summit County Colorado likely the last Saturday in July as always.   Will likely involve some climbing up Boreas Pass.  Stay tuned for details.

According to ChatGPT....   "Based on what we know, The Dirty Lemming (est. 2011) appears to be the longest-running free-entry gravel race still in existence. While events like the Almanzo 100 (2007) were free for many years, they either changed organizers, introduced entry fees, or stopped running. Since the Dirty Lemming has remained free and continuous since its start, it holds the title for the longest-running free gravel race."
