Mile Zero
Join us for a rally-style celebration of cycling, culture, and community in the heart of the Arkansas Delta.
This unique event blends the best of gravel and road riding with the Delta’s vibrant soul — live music, local food, and cultural experiences that honor the region’s deep roots in music, history, and heritage. From mellow scenic routes to gnarly, gravel-grinding challenges, there’s a course for every rider — and now, new routes for runners and walkers too.
“The perfect mash-up of fun and folly, all to support the creation of the Crowley’s Ridge Gravel Trail,”
— Ammen Jordan, Director of StudioDRIFT
The Delta Grind is more than a ride — it’s a movement to re-animate the Delta, highlighting its authenticity and spirit while supporting regional trail development and connectivity.
All proceeds benefit StudioDRIFT’s Crowley’s Ridge Gravel Trail Project, a community-driven effort to build sustainable outdoor recreation infrastructure in the Arkansas Delta.
Family-friendly. Open to all.
