2010 Mile High Rowing Sprints

The Rocky Mountain Rowing Club hosts an annual regatta on Concept2 Model D rowing machines. Several races, for all age groups, are held throughout the day-long event. The rowing
machines are connected through a computer so  that competitors can race as if in boats. The top three rowers in each event receive medals.

The Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints is an official satellite regatta of the granddaddy of indoor rowing sprints, the C.R.A.S.H.-B. World Indoor Rowing Championships.  Choose Your Race, or Races!  One registration fee allows you to compete in as many events as you’d like — or dare — to enter.

2000 meters
The 2k is the featured race of the Mile High Sprints.  Those who enter the 2k are separated according to age, weight, and gender. Competitors who complete the 2k with the first, second and third fastest times within their group receive medals.  A cross between a sprint and an endurance piece, the 2k is undertaken across the globe this time of year for a chance to win a free trip to Boston.  Every year four Mile High Sprints competitors who meet Concept2’s qualifying times go to compete in the World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston
in February. (See www.crash-b.org.)

30 Minutes or the Hour of Power
Challenge your endurance to see how far you can row in 30 minutes or an hour. There are separate medals for men and women.

500-Meter Sprint
Pull as hard and as fast as you can to find out how long it takes to row 500 meters. Those who enter this sprint are separated according to age, weight, and gender. The top three rowers in each sprint receive medals.

Kids Row
Kids between 6 and 13 can compete in 500 or 3-minute races. These events will be informal, fun rows with ribbons and certificates. There is no entry fee, and no T-shirts will be awarded. All participants must fill out a registration form and provide a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Novice Row
New to indoor racing? The Novice Row is a good first race for anyone interested in experiencing an indoor regatta. Participants in the 2000-meter club rows cannot qualify for the C.R.A.S.H.-B. Sprints, but medals and T-shirts are awarded.

Registration
$25 before January 16th enters you in as many races as you dare. Late registration and at the door registration is available but will be $30. Only preregistered entries in the one-hour and 30-minute rows can be guaranteed
