Kayak race raises funds for Missouri River cleanup - Daily Republic

While the amount of paddlers dropped from more than 100 competitors to approximately 85 in 2015, event founder Jarett Bies said the grassroots support and word of mouth generated by last year's race helped it return for a second year. "We had such a great turnout, with more than 100 people last year, that a lot of people were hopeful we were coming back," Bies said. Source: www.mitchellrepublic.com
