Burning Quad

Road + Gravel = Groad. This event is unlike any of the others. The course is made up of tarmac and chip seal, with gravel and dirt sectors. If Mother Nature cooperates, the routes will feature a motocross track and one mile of flowing single track for the Mississippi distance. The gravel is fast in Rock Island County, but riders completing the Mississippi distance will experience some chunky sections as they make their way north through Whiteside County. Tire selection will be key for this one.

New for 2026! There will be a 5K run before the gravel race.
