Due to space limitations and in the interest of making room for as many convoy trucks as possible-we will be limited to BobTails only - no trailers in the convoy (thank you for your understanding).

We encourage all trucks to monitor CB channel 33 on Saturday afternoon for smoother staging, coordination and faster re-parking.

Participant Goody Bag: Each participant will receive a window cling, hat, T-shirt and pin.

Note: Route will be changing this year and we will not be going downtown Joplin. We have outgrown that location. We will leave 4 State Trucks and Travel south on 43 to Seneca to Roundabout and back north on 43 to 4 State Trucks.

Special Olympics Missouri is a year-round program of sports training and athletic competition for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. More than 15,000 athletes participate in 21 Olympic-type sports throughout the state. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy. By participating in or donating to one of our fundraising events, you open a world of opportunity for our athletes. You tell them that you believe in their abilities and understand the value that sports play in fostering acceptance and inclusion.
