So you want to do the Missouri 340?
We here at KC Kayak & Canoe appreciate all sorts of paddling, whether its a leisurely hour out on a lake, an extended camping adventure... or even if you are NUTS and want to subject your self to the LONGEST CONTINUOUS CANOE/KAYAK RACE IN THE COUNTRY.
Each year only two third of the participants succeed? Don't Like your odds? Your buddy/boyfriend/girlfriend... challenge you to do it... Or are they just begging you to help them paddle it and you've never even been in a boat before?
Never Fear! This year we will be hosting a small number of classes to help you prepare. Choose one or choose them all, this is a chance to meet other paddlers and get some practice in before the actual race including at least one night paddle!
