PRAIRIE BURN 100
GRAVEL CYCLING
Thank you, 2024 Burners!
Our annual gravel bike ride around Grinnell, Iowa spans 25, 50 and 100 miles with a 5K Fun Run for the whole family. For the first time, the 2024 event offered chip-timing, cash prizes for the 100 Mile Race Challenge and a dash for cash Burner Challenge for all 3 loops. Check back soon and sign up for emails to stay updated on the 2025 Prairie Burn 100 event!
The 5K Fun Run at the Prairie Burn 100 offers a fun and healthy activity for the whole family! The 2024 event marked the first year with a timing option and all participants received a free t-shirt. The route takes participants throughout the Grinnell community to return for our beer garden, live music, and food trucks. Sign up for emails and check back for more info on the 2025 event!
JOIN THE BURNER MOVEMENT
We are Burners. We started the Prairie Burn 100 gravel bike ride in 2019 as a fundraiser for Imagine Grinnell, a non-profit organization supporting a healthy and sustainable Grinnell community.
Following Imagine Grinnell's mission, we invite you to join us year-round to experience the gravel cycling scene. From novices to pros, we aim to help everyone get on a bike, breathing fresh air and safely enjoying Iowa's 73,000 miles of unpaved crushed stone rural roads.
Sign up for our email list by joining the movement below. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for beginners' clinics, event updates and weekly rides resuming in Spring 2022.
ABOUT
IS THE PRAIRIE BURN 100
A COMPETITIVE RACE?
It is chip-timed with competitive options, but riders and runners can get out of it what they desire. This event is about having a good time, making connections and promoting all the good that comes from cycling. Proceeds from the main event will go to Imagine Grinnell, a non-profit organization that makes the world a better place (or at least towns named Grinnell).
