World Rowing Challenge
The World Rowing Challenge runs every year from March 15–April 15. Get a team together and see how many meters you can row!
The Details
Each team rows as many meters as they can collectively between 12:00 a.m. March 15 and 11:59 p.m. April 15.
This is a team challenge. You must belong to a team to participate. This is not the same as your club affiliation in your profile. See "Information for Team Members" below.
Teams must consist of at least two (2) people.
Important: Complete the following tasks by April 1 or your team will not be enrolled in the challenge and/or your team members' meters will not count for the challenge:
Your team must be enrolled in this year's WRC. (See the Team Administration page for details.)
All team members must be added to your team.
Team members who have their own logbooks must indicate in their logbooks that they are actively participating in the current challenge. (See the Team Member page for more information.)
Team members may only be deleted from the team before midnight ET on April 1. No team members can be deleted after April 1.
Indoor rower meters only (no on water, SkiErg, or on snow meters please).
Meters must be entered online. Because of the large number of participants in the challenge, we cannot accept results via phone, fax or email. We suggest that any members who have access to the internet create their own profile so that they can enter their own results.
Meters rowed each week should be entered no later than midnight on Friday of that week. This works on the honor system. It makes it fair and fun for everyone if you can watch the progress of the teams that you are competing against.
