CHALLENGE OVERVIEW
February Challenge: Rowing
DETAILS:
The 1500-Meter Row Challenge is a timed event, with the fastest time winning in each category. Time begins at the start of the row and stops when the screen reaches 1500 meters. Once completed, participants must take a clear photo of the rower screen showing both the 1500-meter distance and their final time, then show the photo to a wellness staff member to have their result logged and added to the leaderboard. If you have any questions or would like guidance on proper rowing technique, a wellness staff member is happy to help.
WHEN & WHERE:
All February at any YMCA of Central Florida Family Center
ASSOCIATION CATEGORY WINNERS:
Men’s Winner | Women’s Winner | Youth 12+ | 65+
