MR340 Introduction Clinics

So you signed up for one of the biggest paddle races in the country, the MR340, now what do you do? The experts at Alpine Shop are here to help!

Several Alpine Shop employees have survived the MR340, and many have done the race multiple times!

The instructor for these classes is an 11 time competitor, and has earned three trophies from the race that he won't stop bragging about.

There will be three MR340 clinics.

Clinic #1 - May 7th - 6:30pm : Intro to MR340 Q&A - Location : Alpine Shop - Kirkwood MO

We'll review charts, navigation, support teams, best practices, horror stories, and gear. Bring your questions!

Clinic #2 - May 26th - 3pm : Forward Strokes - Location: Simpson Lake

Let's be blunt, just about anyone can get into a kayak and figure out that paddling on the right turns the boat left, paddling on the left makes the boat go right, and paddling on both sides SOMETIMES makes the boat go straight. It often takes YEARS to develop an efficient forward stroke, but we'll try to speed up the process. It takes about 250,000 paddles strokes to get to St Charles from KC, try to imagine how just a small improvement in efficiency can help you out.

Clinic #3 - June 25th - 6:30pm : Safety & Rescue - Location: Simpson Lake

If you tip your kayak on most rivers in Missouri, you can just stand up and walk to shore. That's not the case on the Mighty MO! Every year, a few MR340 racers end up in the river. Attend this class to learn how to rescue yourself and others in a safe, controlled setting so you'll be more prepared when there's a problem during the race (when you're fatigued and disoriented).

COLUMBIA MISSOURI

June 20th - 6pm - Intro to MR340 Q&A - Location: Alpine Shop (Columbia MO)

We'll review charts, navigation, support teams, best practices, horror stories, and gear. Bring your questions!

Each class lasts for approximately 90 minutes.
