On line program: Are you curious about the MR340, it's the longest non stop paddle race in the world. However, it's still do able by novice racers and even people who consider themselves "paddlers". Since the race course is the Missouri River it's right in the backyard of most Missouri residents. This program is appropriate for MR340 racers, ground crews and people who are just interested in learning more or about the race, or what it takes to paddle across the state of Missouri in less than four days. We will discuss the history of the race, Types of boats, whether to go solo or as a team, how to prepare, what to expect along the way, what to take with you and what to leave at home, dangers on the river - real and perceived, weather, day paddling/night paddling, goals, can I sleep, do I need a ground crew (what do they need to know), how can I volunteer volunteers, community involvement, and nature along the river. This will be a general panel discussion with experienced paddlers, ground crews, safety boat pilots, volunteers and race officials. You'll have the opportunity to hear tips, tricks, techniques and advice from people who have been involved with the race and completed it multiple times People who have seen lots of successes an failures for sure over the years. You'll also have a chance to get some of your biggest questions answered. Each participant is required to register for this program separately, contact the instructor for assistance with registration or any questions you might have. John Rittel
