340-Mile River Race Tests Limits | St. Louis News
Description
The Missouri River Race 340 is officially underway — a brutal 340-mile non-stop endurance challenge from Kansas City to St. Charles, with solo racers hitting the water at 7 AM and others an hour later, all racing against the clock with an 86-hour deadline. Powered by Missouri River Relief, a nonprofit that’s removed over 2 million pounds of trash thanks to 35,000 volunteers since 2001, the race isn’t just about grit — it’s also about purpose. This year, standout teams like “Beyond the Teams” — former Navy SEALs — are competing to raise funds and awareness for Camp David, turning extreme sport into meaningful impact. Racers navigate checkpoints on kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards, testing their limits over four grueling days — a raw celebration of human endurance and a rallying cry for clean, accessible waterways.
