I’m always looking for the next challenge. I’ve run 5 marathons, a 50-mile marathon, a couple of Half-Ironman triathlons and an Ironman Triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run). Now with Race To Read, I hope to accomplish even more. I will be tackling the world’s longest non-stop river race – the MR-340. And using the opportunity to raise money to help Nativity of Mary grade school in Independence, Missouri purchase the Scholastic Reading Inventory software for the school. Send me an email with your sponsorship level. And check back to track my progress. Thanks for your support. – Lohn Weber

The Race Begins (a little late)


The race was scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m. But due to a storm moving through, the launch was delayed until 9:30 a.m. Lohn had hoped to make the first official checkpoint in Lexington, Missouri at 3:00 p.m. With the delay, he hopes to hit Lexington at 4:30 p.m. Linda is planning on meeting Lohn in Napoleon, Missouri to replenish food and water. And Linda says, "Thank God the lightning stopped."
