Missouri American Water MR340 Race
The Missouri 340 is an endurance race across the state of Missouri. Competitors will start in Kansas City and finish, some of them anyway, in St. Charles. With numerous towns and hamlets, the course offers plenty of opportunity for resupply while en route. The Missouri River is also incredibly scenic and isolated in some stretches, with wildlife and beautiful vistas to rival any river in North America. But if you’re trying to win this race, you won’t have time to enjoy any of it.
Participants are allowed exactly 88 hours to complete the course. There are eight checkpoints along the route where paddlers are required to sign in and sign out and Jefferson City is one of them. To finish this race in 88 hours is a huge accomplishment. Only 2/3 of the teams were able to do that last year.
