Six steelhead trout will race across the United States in specially designed plexiglass tubes to highlight the need for clean water around the world. Six parallel 100 mile tubes will be assembled, disassembled and re-assembled along a 3148 mile course from August, Maine to Los Angeles, California. The tubes will be transported by human-powered freight trucks.
Fresh water for the fish will be provided at key points by solar powered mobile grey water reclamation plants. These plants will get water from local businesses who choose to support the project. These plants will demonstrate the efficacy of grey water reclamation, and encourage local communities along the way to adopt more permanent practices.
The fish will be lured to the finish line by carefully controlled water filtration, current direction and the use of pheromones. At the end of the run the fish will be set free in the Pacific ocean.
To encourage participation in the event the six steelhead will be given celebrity names like "Steelhead Colbert" and "Troutalina Jolie."
