October 14, 2016 – Mark your calendars and keep up your training: the 8^th Annual Concept2 SkiErg World Sprints will be held November 11-13, 2016. This 1000-meter race allows you to compare your time against others worldwide in a one-weekend showdown of SkiErg speed. There are age categories from 12 and under to 80+, and adaptive classes, too. This event is for everyone.

How it works: Race 1000 meters on the SkiErg at your club, school or home, November 11-13, 2016. Post your time to the Concept2 online logbook by 5 p.m. ET Monday, November 14, 2016. The winners of each age group will receive a special prize; prizes will also be awarded for the top three times in each age group. There will also be prizes for the top men and women in three adaptive categories: seated, standing and visually impaired.

If your facility wants to host an event, special limited-time pricing for SkiErgs is available. Call Josh at 800-245-5676 ext. 3060 to learn more. Don’t have a SkiErg? Find one near you to participate.
