Anyone can compete in the World Indoor Rowing Championships (a.k.a. The CRASH-B Sprints) provided they are 14 years of age or older; however, each year many compete prior to the CRASH-B at one of the 21 official satellite regattas held across the US and Canada. WHY?

To win a free trip to the 2010 CRASH-B!

Ok, ok I am making it sound easy, but in reality you will have to produce some pretty incredible times in order to earn this trip. Each year Concept2 posts Qualifying times prior to the Satellite Races. These times are separated into age/weight class and male/female categories. The times are based on averages of prior years’ CRASH-B results. Concept2 will provide airfare for up to four competitors from each of the 21 official satellite regattas of the CRASH-B if the competitor matches or beats the qualifying time within their category.

Never say never! Take a look at the times and who knows? Maybe Tanya and Mikko won’t be the only guests Concept2 will host at this year’s CRASH-B.
