Birdeye '25

Birdeye Gravel is returning for 2025! We're excited to announce the event will take place from November 7-8.

With four different ways to engage in the weekend, this experience is customizable and guaranteed to be personal — the best way to experience Fall in the Delta.

Birdeye is a rally-style event for runners and gravel cyclists, mixing it up with music, food, and fun cultural activities. It’s a true one-of-a-kind adventure on Crowley's Ridge that you do not want to miss.
