Scott Mansker - RiverMiles
Race Founder & Safety Boat Coordinator
A post-college Missouri River adventure on a homemade raft unleashed Scott Mansker’s love for the Big Muddy. In 2006, he launched the first MR340 and has since grown the race from 16 racers the first year to the world-class challenge it is today. His unparalleled knowledge of every bend on the Missouri River and mastery at simplifying the most tangled logistics make him the ideal Safety Boat Coordinator. His previous career as an alternative high school teacher was the perfect prep for dealing with all of us MR340 racers and volunteers.
