Hello Race Veterans of the 19th Annual Missouri American Water MR340!
Thank you to everyone who participated in making this year a great success! Thank you to all who came out to race, volunteer, and cheer! Thank you to our many sponsors who help us host this incredible race each year! To the Missouri River Relief Staff, dedicated crew and friends who came to help, thank you!
Thank you to our title sponsor, Missouri American Water!
Their crew came out and set up an amazing finish line and had volunteers there all week keeping the finish line running smoothly! Thank you Tom, Amy, and Megan for leading this effort!
This year's volunteer award went to three long time volunteers: Pep Pfefferkorn, Donna Regan, and Kate Masnker. The wealth of information they provided and presence was invaluable!
