Cold weather and ice can't keep rowers away from spirited competition. Rowbics at Fitness Concepts is the proud sponsor of this year's Indianapolis Indoor Rowing Championships taking place on January 30th at the International School of Indiana. Rowers race one another for 2000 meters (there's a special 1000 meter race for beginners) on Concept 2 Indoor Rowers. Spectators can cheer their favorite rowers who are represented as boats on a big screen. The Indianapolis Indoor Championship Regatta is an official satellite regatta for the World Indoor Rowing Championships (aka Crash-Bs) in Boston in February. Winners who meet time standards will win free trips to compete in Boston. Online registration is through Regatta Central.

What: A single 2000 meter race on indoor rowing machines, or a team relay race of 500 meters each, adding up to a total race of 2000 meters. Competitors will race side-by-side in heats of 10 people and the machines are electronically linked so that their progress is shown on a large screen. This means that spectators and competitors can watch the progress of the races in action. There are categories for all levels of competition, including all age groups and skill levels -The oldest and youngest competitors to date have been 90 and 13. Anyone can enter, no experience necessary!

Training: IRC is ready and willing to devise and explain training plans and rowing workouts for any participant who wants to learn or receive extra practice on the machines. To take advantage of this feature, please contact the boathouse and speak with Caitlin Gray.

Prizes: The winners of the open relay race will win a Model D erg, while the winners of the CrossFit Relay will win four 90-minute on-the-water training sessions for all participants. Additionally, individuals who meet a time standard will win a free trip to Boston to compete at the International Indoor Championship in February.

Cost: $25 per person. Entry fee includes a T-shirt and right of entry in as many competitions as you want. Proceeds will go towards helping IRC interact with a wider rowing community via our expanding outreach programs.
