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: The Race for the Rivers, 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: The Clean Water Challenge, is designed for the less experienced racer and/or recreational paddlers – a NON-STOP friendly competition race at a discretionary pace. 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.
