Mud Season Madness

"5000 meters a day keeps Mud Season Madness at bay"

March 1–31

Here in northern New England (home of Concept2's headquarters), we have a "fifth season" that happens in between winter and spring—Mud Season! This is when the snow melts and our many dirt roads get really muddy—sometimes even impassable. It's a good time for an indoor workout, so join us for the Mud Season Madness Challenge!

The Details

  • There are two levels of participation:
    • The Basic Challenge: Row, ski or ride 5000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.
    • The Advanced Challenge: Row, ski or ride 10,000 meters each day for 25 days or more in March.
  • Note: BikeErg meters are counted as half when applied to the challenge.
  • This is an individual challenge. There is no sign up. You do not need to belong to a team to participate.
  • Meters must be entered online in your online logbook.
  • Concept2 RowErg, SkiErg and BikeErg meters only (no on water/on snow meters please). You can combine meters from each machine to reach the daily total of 5000 or 10,000 meters.
  • Kid's Mud Season Madness Challenge allows kids (aged 16 and under) to participate at 2500 meters.
  • Adaptive athletes can choose to participate at the 2500m, 5000m, or 10k levels.

Who Can Participate

Anyone with an online logbook at concept2.com can participate in this challenge.
