Online Challenges

Concept2 offers an annual calendar of motivational challenges to keep you going all year long. When you join a challenge, you are working out along with thousands of other Concept2 community members with the same goal.  

There is a challenge for everyone—many reward consistency and total meters instead of speed, giving an extra incentive to work out regularly.  

How to Participate

All of our online challenges are run through the Concept2 Online Logbook—our free web-based application that allows you to record your workouts, track your total meters and, if you choose, compare your times with other participants from around the world. 

Once you achieve the challenge goal, you’ll be able to download a certificate of participation or purchase items such as T-shirts and mugs. If you like, you can also have your name included on the challenge honor board!

For more information about our challenges, visit the Challenge section of the online logbook, where you can download a list of the 2024 Challenges.

Challenges for Individuals

To participate in an individual challenge, all you need to do is create an online logbook and record your meters in it. 

Challenges for Teams

To participate in team challenges, you’ll need to join a team. You can do this by clicking on the Teams link in your online logbook or by visiting the Concept2 Training Forum to find a team recruiting members. Alternatively, you can set up your own team for others to join. For more information on teams, including more on how to set them up, see the FAQ section of the online logbook.

Other Events

As well as our challenges, there are other events throughout the year that use the online logbook, including our unique sprint events. During these events, people from all over the world race a 1000-meter distance. Unlike a traditional race, these virtual sprint events can take place anywhere in the world. You can take part on your own or in an organized event, with thousands of people taking part each year.
