About This Event
The Turkey Burner is the final stop of the Big River Gravel Series! The event will take place from Camp Liberty which sits on 245 wooded acres positioned in some of the best gravel riding Iowa has to offer. There are enough cabins on site to sleep 275 riders! We have a rustic heated shelter in case the weather is less than ideal. Last year, riders could not get enough of this venue. After finishing, there will be a post race party to celebrate another successful year of gravel riding. Every participant will get a slice of Casey's pizza, some pumpkin pie, and a beverage of their choice.
