500 miles. One enormous journey through the Arkansas Delta. 🚴

The Birdeye 500 returns this fall as part of Birdeye ’26, with riders setting out beginning October 31 and making their way back to Birdeye by Saturday, November 7.

Designed as a self-supported adventure, the Birdeye 500 connects rural communities, state parks, gravel roads, and the full length of Crowley’s Ridge. There’s no rolling SAG and no traditional race support. Riders carry what they need, make their own way, and experience the Delta at their own pace.

Whether you’re looking for a serious bikepacking challenge, training for your next ultra, or just want to see how far the road can take you, this is the full Delta experience.

500 miles. Self-supported. Arkansas Delta.

Come ride with us.

LAST CALL. 🚲

October 6–10, 2026

Registration closes today!!

The first three days of the 2026 Arkansas Graveler will follow much of the highlighted stretch of the Crowley’s Ridge Gravel Trail!

From Jonesboro through Harrisburg, Wynne, Forrest City, Marianna, and down to Helena, the route puts riders right in the middle of the communities and landscapes that make this part of Arkansas so distinctive.

Along the way, we’ll be welcoming riders to the Birdeye rest stop, a place that already holds a special place in Arkansas gravel culture. We’ve seen firsthand how much the experience is shaped by the people, food, music, and hospitality surrounding the ride. We’re excited to bring some of that same Birdeye spirit to the Graveler, with a chance to slow down, refuel, and connect as riders keep moving south.

Registration closes Friday, September 18 at 11:59 PM CT, so if you’ve been thinking about riding the Delta Blues Edition, now’s the time to make it official.

In case you haven’t heard: the Arkansas Graveler is coming to the Delta, and Birdeye is on the route!! 🚲

This October 6–10, the Arkansas Graveler: Delta Blues Edition will bring riders across more than 300 miles of the Arkansas Delta for five days of gravel roads, music, food, culture, and community.

And on Day One, they’ll be making their way through Birdeye.

The Graveler is designed as a traveling experience, one that gives riders the chance to slow down, meet the communities along the route, and experience a part of Arkansas that too often gets passed by instead of explored.

Registration is open now for the full five-day adventure, with ride support, on-site camping, luggage transport, and more included along the way.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome riders through Birdeye this fall for good food, great friends and lots of fun. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more about why an event like this moving through the Delta matters far beyond the bike ride itself.
