Details:
In an attempt to stick with our theme "The River is Our World" and have some fun on the river, we want to mimic Jules Verne’s book, “Around the World in 80 Days”, hence our event, "Around the River in 8 Hours".

This is a pub crawl style event in which boaters will attempt to “visit” as many countries as possible, by visiting as many river venues as possible in a limited amount of time. At each river venue, participants will throw 3 darts at a world map poster and attempt to hit/visit three different countries. The countries hit/visited will be written on the participant's score card and then they can move on to the next venue in the hopes of hitting/visiting three other countries.

There will be three different time zones, allowing you to maximize your time!

Participants can start at any of the 12 venues, but t-shirts will only be distributed at the Yacht Club of Saint Louis.
When you're done, you'll submit your score sheet at your final venue. Score sheets will be collected by the Fleet Captain/First Dude, tallied and the winners will be announced on Memorial Day!

We like to party with a purpose, so this event will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. Each venue will have food, drink, raffle specials to fundraise for the cause.

Additional details about participating locations, time zones, and specials coming soon!

Please boat safely!
This event will happen rain or shine! All of the locations are reachable by land within the designated time and they'll need our support if it
