Seasonal Challenges
The following fun challenges are offered during special times of the year to give you added incentive to row.
 GLOBAL MARATHON CHALLENGE
April 16 – April 30
Row a Marathon (42,195 meters) or a Half Marathon (21,097 meters) all in one sitting and enter your time online within the last 2 weeks of April and earn a downloadable certificate. Go to Individual Marathon Training for more information on training for and rowing the marathon.
 ONLINE BLUE MOON ROW
May 20, 2008
The 4rd Blue Moon Row will take place on May 20, 2008 when we will celebrate the third full moon in a season of four. On that day, we challenge you to row TWICE in one day, with each row being at least 5000 meters in length. As with the Solstice Row, we will also allow on-water meters for this event.
Since we announced the 1st Blue Moon Row in 2004 several customers have written to let us know that there are two different definitions of "blue moon". It turns out that this is a good thing because we can have Blue Moon Rows more often! The first definition is when a full moon occurs twice in one month. In this case, the second full moon is called a blue moon. The second definition of a blue moon is when there are four full moons in one season, and when this occurs, the third full moon is the blue moon. Indeed, it appears that this second definition is the original, and correct one – though the other definition has become more widely known.
