Listen to the inspiring/ intimidating information on the Missouri River 340race. Yes, it's a canoe (or other human-powered, not sailboat) race from the mouth of the Kaw River to St. Charles, MO. More than 200 boats are registered for this year's race, which happens August 4-7, 2009. You can view the flotilla at Riverfront Park on Tuesday morning, August 4, from 7:15-9:00. The Friends of the River will sell you a donut and coffee at the park that morning.
