Dinaric Rally 2026 to take place in Knin, Croatia

The seventh Dinaric Rally is scheduled to take place from August 21 to August 28, 2026, in the Knin region of Croatia. Organized by the Zagreb-based sports club Untamed, the event features nearly 160 competitors from 23 different countries navigating the rugged terrain of the Dinarides.

Participants will compete using motorcycles, quads, and Side-by-Side (SSV) vehicles. The competition is divided into two main categories: the professional Rally class, where drivers race against the clock using roadbooks and GPS, and the DARE! (Dinaric Adventure Rally Experience) class, designed for amateurs to experience the terrain without time pressure.

The event program begins with the opening of the central camp in Knin on August 21. Activities include technical inspections and a formal opening ceremony at the Knin Fortress on August 22. Spectators can watch the action from designated viewing points starting August 23, which also marks the introductory qualifying stage.
