Run the Missouri – The Return Journey

09/23/2020 - 10/23/2020

$50

On September 23rd, 1806, Lewis & Clark and their Corps of Discovery returned to St. Louis via the Missouri River after completing a 2 year, 4 month, and 10 day trek to set the stage for westward expansion. Beginning on September 23rd, Run the Missouri: The Return Journey is a virtual running and walking challenge that follows their journey back across the state of Missouri.

Virtually traveling along the south bank of the Missouri River from Kansas City to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, you’ll traverse up to 318 miles of the Lewis & Clark National Historic Driving Route. To commemorate your personal expedition you’ll receive by mail your choice of a baseball tee, long-sleeve vintage-style thermal tee, or a hooded sweatshirt. Complete the entire journey by the end of January and you’ll receive a custom finishers medal, too!
