Birdeye-5K Race Description

Birdeye is rolling out an incredible, completely free 5K designed specifically to bring together high school track teams, local runners, casual walkers, kids, and families for an unforgettable day on Crowley's Ridge. Set against the vibrant autumn backdrop of the Arkansas Delta, this rally-style event pairs a high-energy run with a house-party atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.

Why High School Teams & Local Runners Love It

• Zero Cost: Completely free event participation ensures that local students, families, and running groups can race without financial barriers.

A Festival for the Whole Family

• The Post-Race House Party: Cross the finish line straight into an incredible celebration featuring live local music, farm-fresh food, and cold drinks.
