**Who's up for a workout?!!** **We'll have TWO TRACKS to include a wide range of kayaks and SUPs, from 10 foot and up**. Long boats (over 14 ft with river experience) will first point bows upriver on the Missouri River and do a "treadmill" or paddle upriver while others head up the Kaw River. Next, everyone meets upriver on the Kaw River for a total of 45 minutes upriver and then 45 minutes back. The goal is a two hour workout, so plan to go at a steady pace with no stops. Sprint at your own pace, or stick with others - do whatever you prefer.
HOST: Christy

After, we may head to a nearby patio for food and drinks if there's interest.

For this workout, we'll start together and end together, and have two groups based on boat types and speed. This enables us to stay together on the rivers for safety and more fun.

**TRACK 1 (Faster): 14 foot or longer kayaks or fast performance-type paddleboards or canoes**. I'll be in my 17'8" sea kayak. This group will do both the MO River and the Kaw.

**TRACK 2 (Slower): 10 - 14 foot kayaks or paddleboards, or longer kayaks interested in going at a slower pace along with the shorter boats and boards**. This group will skip the MO River "treadmill" and go straight to the Kaw.

**No inflatable kayaks or tukteks or kayaks under 10 feet**, and you must already have paddling experience and ability to maneuver your kayak or sup. This is NOT a good match for new paddlers, so join us at another event if you're new or paddle an inflatable kayak or tuktek. If you use a paddleboard, you must be experienced and able to turn and maneuver on slow-moving water. We'll have tow lines if needed, of course, and will cover safety measures before launch.
