LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[Kona2]

Syncs up well with the 5K or 10K you might be doing today anyway - just sign up under Challenges to have it count towards this Challenge (a twofer!)

To mark International Women's, Concept2 will be donating to organizations that promote sport and activity in the lives of women and girls. We will donate $5 for everyone who signs up to the challenge and does a 5000m piece (10,000m for the BikeErg) on March 8, to a maximum total amount of $15,000. Almost $5,000 has been earned so far today!!

Just in time to have the World Erg Challenge start tomorrow! At least your meters count for two things !


World Erg Challenge
The World Erg Challenge runs every year from March 15–April 15. Get a team together and see how many meters you can complete!

The Details
Each team completes as many meters as they can collectively between 12:00 a.m. March 15 and 11:59 p.m. April 15.
Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please). You can combine meters from each machine to reach the challenge goal. Note: BikeErg meters are counted as half when applied to the challenge.
