🚣‍♂️ Aurimas Valujavičius is coming to Kansas City!

As part of his incredible 2026 expedition, Aurimas is kayaking across America, following the Missouri and Mississippi rivers on his way to the Gulf of Mexico.

In September, he is expected to reach Kansas City, Missouri — another major milestone on this epic journey of more than 5,000 km.

It will be a great opportunity to welcome a fellow Lithuanian adventurer to Kansas City and support him as he continues this extraordinary challenge.

Follow his journey and cheer him on!
