Alison Kelly, race director of Extreme North Dakota Racing, is looking for volunteers to paddle the Red River of the North as company, safety, and support for marathon swimmers who are traveling from around the world for the longest competitive race in America.
Each support boat gets a US$100 stipend and food at the Blue Moose at the finish.
END-WET is a 36-mile (57.9 km) downriver swim race on the Red River of the North, ending in Grand Forks, North Dakota on June 18th.

“Volunteer can be a part of a unique event – this is the longest freshwater swim in North America. Challenge yourself – when’s the last time you paddled 36 miles anyway? You can meet new adventurers. Fill out the volunteer form here and we will get in touch with you soon.”
