If you're up for a swim this weekend, consider the Red River between Grand Forks and Oslo, Minn.


That’s a 27 mile swim.


Top long distance swimmers will compete in the extreme North Dakota water endurance test tomorrow (Saturday). Organizer Andy Magness says he wants to bring attention to the river and highlight the Red as a recreational resource.


Among those taking part in the river endurance swim is a Chicago man who'll only use the butterfly stroke.


The event is also open canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.
