Blue Moon Row

December 31, 2009

This year's Blue Moon Row will take place on December 31, 2009 when we will celebrate the second full moon in December.

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." 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, the third full moon is considered 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.

The Details

  • Row twice in once day, with each row being at least 5,000 meters.
  • This is an individual challenge. (You do not need to belong to a team to participate.)
  • Meters must be entered online.
  • Both indoor rower and water meters count.
