MRR Trash Mobs
We know you are itchin' to get outside, get muddy and make a difference. While we may not be able to have large-scale clean-ups we can still make a difference...Trash Mob style! What is a trash mob you ask?! Trash mobs are sort of like flash mobs, they just sort of appear! So grab a bag and some gloves, and head outside by yourself or the folks that you've been cooped up with and clean up the litter along your favorite creek or even just in your neighborhood.

Read up on the MR340 race!
15th Annual Missouri American Water MR340
- August 4-7, 2020
Kansas City, KS, to St. Charles, MO
A collection of photos, articles and videos about the MR340
Since 2007, Missouri River Relief has been a partner in the MR340 race - a 340 mile paddling race across the state of Missouri. Racers purchase super cool race stickers and all of that money goes to support our efforts. We bring as many safety boat crews as we can and help up and down the race course.
