Delta Grind 2025

A unique rally-style event that combines the exhilaration of road and gravel bicycling with the energy of running - all mashed together with lively music, delicious food, and a range of other engaging cultural activities. This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience in Delta that promises to be both challenging and fun!

Saturday April 12th, 2025

Kelly Courtyard - 415 Cherry St, Helena, AR 72342

The Arkansas Delta has suffered for decades from extreme poverty, population decline, and an eroding economic base resulting in impoverished counties with the shortest life expectancy in the state. This is not merely a statistic; it is a call to action!
