What are the Mile High Sprints?
The Rocky Mountain Rowing Club hosts an annual regatta on Concept2 Model D rowing machines. Several races, for all age groups, are held throughout the day long event. The rowing machines are connected through a computer so that competitors can race as if in boats. The top three rowers in each event receive medals.The Mile High Indoor Rowing Sprints is an official satellite regatta of the granddaddy of indoor rowing sprints, the C.R.A.S.H.-B. World Indoor Rowing Championships . View Mile High Sprints schedule.
2000 meters The 2k is the featured race of the Mile High Sprints. Those who enter the 2k are separated according to age, weight, and gender. Competitors who complete the 2k with the first, second and third fastest times within their group receive medals. A cross between a sprint and an endurance piece, the 2k is undertaken across the globe this time of year for a chance to win a free trip to Boston. Every year four Mile High Sprints competitors who meet Concept2’s qualifying times go to compete in the World Indoor Rowing Championships in Boston in February.(See www.crash-b.org.)

Take a Concept2 Indoor Rower Home With You
Rowing Machines are by far the best all-over exercise machines you could ever own. Indoor rowing is low impact and suitable for exercisers of all ages, and works every major muscle group. It is non weight-bearing, which is easier on the joints and well suited for the larger framed athlete. The Indoor Rower measures 7’1” long, 24” wide at the front leg, and 35” high, and weighs 61 pounds. Think you don’t have space for it? Think again — you can break it down into two sections in seconds and store it on end. The heavier front end has wheels for quick moving. With the PM3 monitor and log card you can use preprogrammed workouts, program your own, automatically record each workout, and participate in Internet races with other rowers around the world. Only a limited number of machines are available so get your order in early. To order contact the Mile High Sprints Coordinators at milehighsprints@rockymountainrowing.org
