Jure Robic is the first Race Across America competitor to make it into the St. Louis region. Robic clocked into Marthasville, Mo., at 3:22 p.m. CDT today. Two others, Wolfgang Fasching and Daniel Wyss, have made it to the Jefferson City, Mo., time station, and Fasching recently arrived in Marthasville.

Robic reached the Mississippi River at 8:24 p.m. today and is expected to reach Greenville, Ill., later tonight.

To give you an idea on how spread out the field is, the lead woman, Kerry White, checked in at the Ulysses, Kan., time station at 9:26 p.m. today. Ulysses is about 700 miles west of the Mississippi River.
