9 am CDT start

Entry $26

No wind, no current, and no weather to contend with. Rip a 1K on your erg in the heat of summer and see what you’ve got without distraction or excuses. Are you at your sprinting peak, or have you fallen off from winter training? How does all the work you’ve been doing on the water translate? Not a water rower? Maybe you’re faster. There’s only one way to find out. Take your seat in the heat. It’s a sweater.

The first stage race of the Ergon Metron Series Cup, the Summer Sweater 1K can be entered as a solo event or as part of the series.

This virtual race will be conducted ONLINE using the ERGZONE app.
The app is free to download in your mobile app store.
