Concept2 Holiday Challenge – Get in shape while giving to your favorite charity!

Until December 24th, you can participate in the Concept2 Holiday Challenge and earn money for the charity of your choice. The details are as follows:
Row, ski and/or ride 100,000 meters or 200,000 meters until 11:59 p.m. December 24th.
Concept2 rower, SkiErg and BikeErg meters only. You can combine meters from each machine to reach the challenge goal. Note: BikeErg meters are counted as half when applied to the challenge.
This year’s charities designated by Concept2 are indicated below.
This is an individual challenge.
The Kids’ Holiday Challenge allows kids (aged 16 and under) to participate at 50,000 meters.
Adaptive athletes can choose to participate at the 50k, 100k, or 200k levels.
Deadline for entering meters: 11:59 pm GMT (6:59 pm ET), January 4th.
Charity Details:
For every person who rows, skis or rides 100k during the challenge, Concept2 will donate $.02 per kilometer (1000 meters) to your choice of this year’s charities. Once you get beyond 100k, Concept2 will donate $.04 per additional kilometer. In order for your meters to count, however, you must choose a charity from the front page of your Logbook (or select “Let Concept2 Choose” if you don’t have a preference). For kids and adaptive participants, the $.04 rate will take effect at 50k. Note: BikeErg meters count for half the distance when calculating your Holiday Challenge meters and any related donation.

Global Giving—Puerto Rico and Caribbean Hurricane Relief Fund
