July 30, 2011, Saturday - 8th Annual Mississippi River Challenge (2-day event)

The Mississippi River Challenge is a 2-day, 44-mile paddling event to raise money for a cleaner, healthier river.

This is the premier event for Friends of the Mississippi River and all funds raised go toward aiding the organization’s work on the Mississippi River in and around the Twin Cities. Each paddler over 18 is required to raise a minimum of $250 in pledges ($50 for those 16-18, and no minimum for those 15 and under) to participate in this event.
