"Unprecedented Achievement: Historic Paddle Down the Mighty Mississippi River"

Scott Miller, a nurse from Minneapolis, successfully broke the record for paddling the entire 2,350-mile length of the Mississippi River, completing the journey in 16 days, 20 hours, and 16 minutes. After a failed attempt in 2021, Miller assembled a new team called Mississippi Speed Record, including expert paddlers, and made modifications to their boat and gear. Despite challenges such as dangerous lakes, high water, and barge traffic, they maintained a lead over the previous record and celebrated their victory at Mile Marker Zero.
