Announcing the 10th Annual Holiday Rowing Challenge!
The Holiday Challenge begins November 26 (U.S. Thanksgiving) and ends December 24 (Christmas Eve). For every person who rows or skis* at least 100k during the challenge, Concept2 will donate $.02 per kilometer (1000 meters) to your choice of the following organizations: Oxfam International, Slow Food USA, Feeding America or The Center for an Agricultural Economy. And once you get beyond 100k, we'll donate $.04 per kilometer. Our goal through this group effort is to raise a total of $30,000 to support these causes. The usual prizes of a pin and certificate will still be awarded. Note: For kids and adaptive participants, the $.04 rate will take effect at 50k.
To participate, all you have to do is row or ski* and enter your meters in your Concept2 Online Logbook. Visit the Holiday Challenge page for more information.
* New this year! In addition to indoor rower meters, this year SkiErg meters will also count toward your Holiday Challenge meter total. You can do all indoor rower meters, all SkiErg meters, or a combination of the two! To learn more about the SkiErg, visit concept2.com/ski.
