This is a C2 Row Erg 4-person team event located at Outstate Brewing, one of the local breweries. The 4-person teams can be all male, all female, or 2 males & 2 females. This event is 45:00 for meters with awards for the top three teams in each division. Each team will establish an order for their athletes in which they must rotate through that order with each athlete completing at least one full pull on the rower before they can transition out. There is no limit to how long each participant spends on the rower as long as each team completes one full rotation through their athletes.
All proceeds from this event go to the Lake Region Healthcare Unity Wellness Foundation Fund to support individuals who want to participate in any of the wellness programs but do not have the means to.
If you want to participate in the event, but do not have a team, email [email protected] to get put on the list of those who need a team.
