Organizers are looking for individuals who will help them hold the race. They will need volunteers to assist the participants, prepare the canoes and other equipment, race marshals, and timekeepers.<\/p>\n
They are also looking for people who have stop or digital watches to monitor the times of each school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
