Root Beer Float Race

Take part in this new, family-friendly race during the MN Paddling Opener sponsored by the Dorothy Molter Museum!
The 5-mile “Root Beer Float” on the Mississippi River is an easy, fun way to experience paddling on the big river and only costs $10 per person (does not include t-shirt/medal or trophy)! It’s great for families, high school kids, and anyone new to paddling or new to the Mississippi. All self-powered craft are welcome and you can bring your own boat or rent a kayak or canoe.

After your paddle, enjoy the Minnesota Paddling Expo at the finish line from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. All participants will receive a root beer snack. The Expo is open to everyone whether they paddled or not. There will be exhibitors from many paddling businesses and river-related non-profits. You can cheer on hundreds of boats arriving at the finish line. There will be food and carnival games at the adjacent Father Hennepin Festival.
