6000m Indoor Competition

[[old] tnikola85]

Hy everyone!!<br /><br />As you can see from my post data, I'm very much new around here but not that new into rowing. Well there I go offtopicing again, that troubles me a lot, wether I'm taking an college exam or talking to a frend, I always go round and around the topic because I love to talk.<br /><br />So this is the deal: I'm susposed to write an article for a local rowing magazine (that I also 'create' as the chief editor) that concerns indoor competitions in europe and the US. what I am most interested in is wether are there any competitions over 6000 meters, whereby there are many of them over the 2000m course. Almost every nation has it local indoor 2k championship but I'm not introduced, and I never heard of rowers racing the 6000m or 20 minutes course. <br />Further on with the explication of the topic. Moreover, I'm interested in mass 2k competitions. I know that there has been an european 2k championskip taking place somewhere in the first half of december, so I'm interested are there any competitions in Europe ore elswhere in the world (excluding the US) with similar ambitions, regarding the extent of competitors.<br /><br />And I would like to get the names of the most massive US 2k indoor competitions.<br /><br />Thanks in advance, I'll name you as my sources if you'll cooperate.

Hi, in answer to your question there are competitions in Holland and Denmark which are over 6k . <br /><br />Also see here for race fixtures <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/racing/calendar_euro.php' target='_blank'>http://www.concept2.co.uk/racing/calend ... php</a><br /><br />The British Championships is also a very big competition <a href='http://www.concept2.co.uk/birc/' target='_blank'>http://www.concept2.co.uk/birc/</a><br /><br /> There is also a series in Britain called the Grand Prix series which this season consisted of six races . The best 4 for a competitor counted for an overall placing .<br /><br />
