Have you ever wondered what masochist originated the idea of combining fun and pain on the erg into the C.R.A.S.H.-B. Sprints Indoor Rowing Championships?

C.R.A.S.H.-B. does not sponsor athletes, does not set up or authorize satellite regattas, and does not set aside hotel rooms. Those activities have been supported by Concept2 in the past. Information regarding all of those topics and more can be found within this website.

C.R.A.S.H.-B. does not set entry standards – the race is open to everyone. We also do not do race day photos, videos, or wash windows.

We are completely run by and dependent on our volunteer work force. We work hard, have fun, and hope that you will be part of the race. Thank you for your consideration.
