MR340 brings paddlers, supporters and community together
COLUMBIA â Three days, 340 miles, hundreds of paddlers, safety boats, ground support teams, volunteers and crowds from different cities. What do all of these things have in common? MR340, the longest nonstop canoe and kayak race in the world.Â
The race began in Kansas City on Tuesday; paddlers will travel on the Missouri River all the way to St. Charles.Â
There are multiple checkpoints and different stops paddlers can choose to take a break at. However, this race is different because it does not require the competitors to stop.Â
There are 13 different divisions that competitors could choose to compete in.Â

PHILADELPHIA While millions of Americans are staying home during the pandemic, millions of others are traveling and getting together with friends and family. While pandemic fatigue is affecting a lot of people, pandemic anger is getting to some people, too. It s a shame. You don t want to say it s their prerogative, but they should be a little more cautious. I m tired of wearing a mask. I went and bought braces and I can t show off my beautiful smile, said Carin Thomas from West Philadelphia. I tell them all the time, Don t come near me if you don t have a mask on. I don t care if I have mine on. Don t shake my hand, don t reach your hand out. I don t mean no harm, but I have to stay safe, said Damian Powers from Germantown.
