END-WET: downriver swim, canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard marathon

[Sal Atticum]

I don't know if anyone here is an avid (or even halfhearted) paddler, but this race is going on next month and there are still a bunch of paddling spots open: http://www.endracing.com/p/end-wet.html

The big draw is (amazingly) the swim race, which has 13 people signed up to swim 27 miles in the Red River of the North from Grand Forks to Oslo, MN. The whole roster is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sV2HIEtq8BBuRjqfkCpOR54IXFu784dPdYswtspyNzA
