Three Events For Clean Water
Promoting Clean Water Education, Restoration, and Recreation
Whether you’re an avid paddler looking to get in on a competitive river race, or simply in search of a fun-filled, laid-back “float,” Race for the Rivers 2008 is the event you’ve been searching for! With water education, restoration and recreation as the focus, The Greenway Network, a non-profit citizens action group, is set to re-stage their second annual Missouri River paddling event on the weekend of August 23 & 24.
Race one is a staged-event covering 65 miles of the scenic Missouri River from Washington Missouri all the way to the Confluence. It is a race for the serious paddler with strong endurance and a desire to compete. Race two is designed for the less experienced racer and/or recreational paddlers – pace is entirely at the discretion of each entrant. This event begins in Weldon Spring and concludes in historic Saint Charles at the Race for the Rivers Festival in Frontier Park. The Festival is open to any and all who are interested in good food, great music and more information about how to encourage and enjoy healthy rivers. All tax deductible pledges will go to support Greenway Network's various clean water initiatives.
