When you reach your goal (and enter all your meters in your online logbook), a link automatically becomes available to you in the Challenges tab of your online logbook. Clicking this link displays instructions for downloading a custom designed certificate and T-shirt heat transfer design recognizing your completion of the challenge. Those who complete 200,000m (and kids and adaptive rowers completing 50,000m) will also receive a special pin. These pins are free, and sent automatically to the address in your profile, so please be sure the mailing address in your profile is current and correct. There is no need to place an order for your pin—just be sure your profile is up to date. 

In addition, 200K finishers, 50K kids and adaptive rowers may purchase the 2007 Holiday Challenge T-shirt. T-shirt ordering information will appear automatically on your online logbook Challenges page when you enter all your meters (200K or 50K for kids) in your online logbook.

One More Chance to Win:

All successful Holiday Challenge participants will be eligible to win a weekend sculling camp at the Craftsbury Sculling Center, located about 30 minutes from Concept2 in northern Vermont. The winner will be randomly selected from everyone who completes at least 100,000 meters during the Holiday Challenge. The prize covers the cost of the camp including meals and lodging. You will be responsible for your own transportation to and from Craftsbury. The prize is transferable to friends or family, but has no cash value. Craftsbury Sculling Center is the longest established sculling camp in North America and 2008 will be their 33rd season of teaching sculling to people of all ages and abilities. Find out more at craftsbury.com/row.

Kids’ Holiday Challenge:

This will be the fifth year that we have offered a kids’ version of the Holiday Challenge.  Kids (ages 16 and under) who successfully finish 50,000 meters will automatically receive the Holiday Challenge pin and will be able to order the Holiday Challenge clothing.

Note: Kids must have their own online logbook (it’s OK if they use a parent’s e-mail address) with a current shipping address. To create a new profile go to http://www.concept2.com/sranking03/log.asp and click on Register.
