Grab a map of the Missouri River and get ready for Race For the Rivers 2008!
Get ready to have fun paddling the Missouri River for a good cause! Greenway Network, a non-profit volunteer organization concerned with water conservation and preservation, is set to re-stage their successful Missouri River paddling race to benefit clean water initiatives in the St. Louis area. Two separate Missouri River racing events guarantee that everyone from serious paddling enthusiasts to adventure racing beginners can get in on the fun.
Paddling the Missouri River with a purpose in the Clean Water Challenge
This 20 mile paddling race is for adventure racing beginners. As they're paddling the Missouri River on the way to the finish at the Race For the Rivers Festival, racers will complete a variety of extra tasks, including water quality monitoring.
Map out a winning strategy for the Race For the Rivers
You'll need more than just a map of the Missouri River to get ahead in this 65 mile, two-day event. Beginning in Washington, racers will break at the Race for the Rivers Festival before making their way to the finish at the Confluence, just north of downtown St. Louis.
Check out our map of the Missouri River to map the route of both paddling events.
