I didn't even know it was happening. I have heard of the other ones. News services missing n opportunity to showcase Mo and bring tourists.

Marshall Democrat-News: Local News: 6-man team leads Missouri River 340 at Miami checkpoint <font color="blue">(Updated 11:50 a.m. Oct. 12)</font> (10/11/11)

MR340 is an annual race of kayaks and canoes along the length of the Missouri River, 340 miles from Kansas City to St. Charles, and is possibly the longest race of its kind.

"This ain't no mama's boy float trip. This race promises to test your mettle from the first stroke in Kansas City to the last gasp in St. Charles. Just entering it will impress your friends. Finishing it will astound them," according to a description on the race website, rivermiles.com.

Tres Tandems is, as the name indicates, three former tandem teams who were perenniel top competitors in the race. The team consists of Matt Green, Kevin Schwartz, Phil Reed, Mitch Anderson, Pappy Scroggins and Yancy Scroggins.

They decided to join forces this year in hopes of breaking the race's overall record, according to support team member Al Green.

Competitors are allowed 88 hours to finish, but winners have finished in less than 40 hours. In 2008, another six-man team made the trip in 36 hours, 19 minutes.
