The Team 350 Challenge sees the Concept2 Online Community join together to try and row 350 million meters in the 35 days from September 21st. If you have already signed up for an Online Logbook, then you can login here. If you do not have an account, then you can get started here. It only takes five minutes to join, and as well as recording all your meters online, you can compare your times to people across the entire world, and take part in online challenges such as this one!
We’ll be adding updates and new graphics to this page, so come back often for updates.
Team 350 is a grassroots virtual team that is rowing/skiing to raise awareness of the dangerously high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. 350 parts per million of CO2 has been identified by scientists as the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere. We are above this level now. See 350.org for background.
Note: You can join our effort ANY time between now and Oct 24, the International Day of Climate Action.
The Goal
Build awareness of the significance of 350ppm by recruiting as many people as we can to help collectively attempt to reach 350 million meters of rowing and skiing in 35 days: September 20–October 24.
How to Participate
- If you don’t yet have an Online Logbook, create one for FREE at concept2.com/logbook.
- Then go to your logbook homepage and click on the button to join the challenge and let us know that you want to participate.
- Now all you have to do is row or ski, on water, or snow or indoors, and log your meters in your logbook. Please help us spread the word about 350 and recruit more athletes to join the challenge!
Note: As this is a 'virtual' team event, taking part in the Team 350 Challenge means you can still compete in the Fall Rowing Challenge with your usual team.
