Bourbon Burn
Event Dates: September 25th - 27th, 2026
Location: Kentucky Horse Park Campground, Lexington, KY
The Bourbon Burn is a three-day, fully-supported bicycle tour that combines a bike tour with a bourbon festival, exploring the bourbon distilleries and Thoroughbred horse farms of central Kentucky. Riders will traverse quiet country roads and quaint communities, with daily distance options ranging from 20 to over 100 miles, making stops at numerous distilleries.
The event is based at Bourbon Base Camp, located at the Kentucky Horse Park Campground in Lexington, KY. Participants can enjoy sipping local bourbon from the distilleries visited that day, along with live entertainment and socializing. Registration is open to riders aged 21 and older by the event date.
The Burn offers loop rides departing from Bourbon Base Camp each morning, allowing participants to choose their daily distance (short, medium, or long options from 20 - 100+ miles). This loop format means riders do not need to pack up or change accommodations throughout the weekend.
In addition to the 3-day registration, a 2-day registration option is available.
