Lewis and Clark


This Summer, from July 24 – July 28, racers from around the world will compete in the second annual Missouri River 340.  At 340 miles, the MR 340 is the longest nonstop canoe and kayak race in the world and the number of teams has nearly tripled since the first race in 2006. 

Racers will compete in 5 categories: men’s solo, men’s tandem, women’s solo, women’s tandem, and mixed tandem.  The race is a marathon with 1/3 of the teams unable to finish last year.  The MR 340 offers an excellent opportunity for paddling enthusiasts to compete in a world class river race, but it also offers several chances for spectators and entire communities to get involved. 

All racers are required to check in at 9 communities along the river.  These checkpoints will serve as prime locations to watch the race and for Missourians to reconnect with their river heritage. 

For racing details, please visit www.rivermiles.com.  For information on volunteering opportunities and community involvement, please contact MRCN at 573-256-6477.
