The new World Rowing Indoor Sprints and the World Erg Challenge are part of a collaboration between World Rowing and Concept 2 that also includes Indoor Rowing at the 2017 World Games in Poland (more information). The World Games will be open to all indoor rowing enthusiasts. We encourage you to get involved and get moving with indoor rowing by participating in these great events and the qualification process for the World Games starting in September 2016.

The goal is to have as many people participate as possible. So, dust off that erg, and get ready. We’ll help you every step of the way, providing you with a 6-week training plan, videos on how to improve your erging technique, words from our elite rowing ambassadors and more. Stay tuned and good luck!
