Recent Challenges
Summer Solstice
June 21
In honor of the longest day of the year, we invite you to participate in the Summer Solstice Challenge by completing 21,000 meters.
Juneteenth Challenge
June 19
Concept2 will be donating $19,000 to charity to mark Juneteenth. For every person signed up from the home page of their logbook, and does at least 1900m on June 19, we will donate an extra $2, up to a maximum total amount of $38,000. Note: BikeErg meters count for half the distance when applied to the challenge.
Upcoming Challenges
12 Labors of the StrengthErg
July 20–31
Our first ever StrengthErg-specific challenge. Complete all 12 labors—four Chest Press, four Seated Row, and four Leg Press workouts—during the challenge period.
Dog Days of Summer Challenge
August 1–28
The Dog Days of Summer are almost upon us! What better time for a challenge?
Complete the Dog Days of Summer challenge by finishing each of the following four distance goals in the timeframes indicated and log them in your online logbook:
- Week 1, Aug. 1–7: 10,000 meters
- Week 2, Aug. 8–14: 20,000 meters
- Week 3, Aug. 15–21: 30,000 meters
- Week 4, Aug. 22–28: 40,000 meters
Distances are cumulative (you don't have to complete 10,000 meters in one sitting, for instance), and all meters—rowing or skiing, indoors or out—count. Plus, this year, we've added an optional level for kids and adaptive athletes. We hope you'll join us!
