Do Work - Labor Day Erg Challenge

Monday, Sept 4, 2023, 9 am CDT

Where is your sweet spot? Do you have monster starts? Are you a master of the middle? A negative splitting wizard? Or is consistency from start to finish your secret? Show us what you've got! Prizes will be awarded to all registered racers who win their category. $25 gets you in the game. You labor for that which you love, and you love that for which you labor. Let's do work!

Rules & Info

We’ve got 2 ways to race!

1. Participate Virtually via ErgZone

To compete LIVE against other racers, you will need to use the ErgZone mobile app. This requires three things:

• PM5 Monitor (with updated firmware)

• Wifi Connection

• C2 Logbook Account

The ErgZone mobile app and C2 logbook account are free. The only thing you pay to compete in one of our races is your entry.

2. Participate Independently Offline & Manually enter your score on ErgZone with a screenshot.

If your erg doesn’t have a PM5 monitor:

 - Set up your monitor manually by programming in the race piece on race day and do the event at its scheduled time. 
 - Take a screenshot of your race screen at the finish.
 - Enter your race results into the free ErgZone app, including the screenshot of your monitor as soon as you finish.

RACERS IN OTHER TIME ZONES may compete at their local time on Monday, September 4, and manually submit their scores on the ErgZone app. Those in time zones ahead of the official start time in Chicago will have to wait until we compete and the race unlocks to submit manually. All manual submissions must be entered within 24 hrs of the official start time to be counted in the rankings.
