Missouri River Speed Record Documentary

In Production

They are back at it! 

A team of 4 paddlers and their large and dedicated support crew will attempt to break the speed record for the fastest human-powered trip down the entire 2,341-mile Missouri River in the summer of 2026. Much of the same crew from the successful Mississippi Speed Record in 2023 is returning for this expedition.

The expedition launches on June 23rd, 2026. The current record to beat is 33 days 18 hours 45 minutes. We'll be covering the journey all the way from Three Forks, MT to St. Louis, MO. 

We plan on creating a feature-length documentary and a series of episodes. On top of that, we'll be creating a behind-the-scenes series as well as many other bonus features. 

Once completed, we plan to tour the film around the country. The feature-length film and the series will be available to stream online.
