How to Participate
All of our online challenges are run through the Concept2 Online Logbook—a free web-based application that allows you to record your workouts, track your total meters and, if you choose, compare your times with other participants from around the world.
Once you achieve the challenge goal, you’ll be able to download a certificate of participation or purchase items such as T-shirts and mugs. If you like, you can also have your name included on the challenge honor board!
For more information about each challenge, visit the Challenge Information section of the Logbook, or click on the challenge name below. You can also download a Challenge Calendar.

These include the Virtual World Rowing Indoor Sprints, a collaboration with World Rowing, that sees people from all over the world row 1000m. Unlike a traditional race, the Virtual World Rowing Indoor Sprints can take place anywhere in the world. You can take part on your own or in an organized event!
