RACE FORMAT

Participants will be divided into races based on estimated 2000M ERG time. First race begins at 8:00 AM. Except for the Adaptive, JRow, coxswain, and community race, all races are 2000 meters.  The Adaptive event will be 1000 meters.  Concept II Model D Ergometers will be used.  Adaptive rowers requiring different equipment (e.g. fixed seat adaptations) are required to bring their own equipment.  Video performance monitors allow athletes and spectators to watch the boats move along the course.  Rowers may use the damper setting of their choice; the setting may not be changed during the race.  Each competitor will row only once in a Final–Only format, competing in a twelve- person race. 

Erg Scores:

Please provide a likely 2000 -meter score so that you can race with people of similar speed.
