Summer Sweater 1K
Sun, July 14, 2024
9 am CDT start
No wind, no current, and no weather to contend with. Rip a 1K on your erg in the heat of summer and see what you’ve got without distraction or excuses. Are you at your sprinting peak, or have you fallen off from winter training? How does all the work you’ve been doing on the water translate? Not a water rower? Maybe you’re faster. There’s only one way to find out. Take your seat in the heat. It’s a sweater.
The first stage race of the Ergon Metron Series Cup, the Summer Sweater 1K, can be entered as a solo event or as part of the series.
This is the second ranked distance of the Metron Maximus Quest.

Race Rules & Info
Attention Racers! If you are competing in a different time zone or on an older model erg, offline independently, you must submit your results on the ErgZone app within 24 hours of completing the event at your local time to be eligible for Ergon Metron Series Cup rankings and prizes.
The submission window will open after the live virtual event in Chicago is completed. Once we finish racing here in Chicago, the event will be unlocked on the app for you to submit your score and screenshot of your monitor.
The submission window will remain open for 24 hours after the offical race date and start time.
Offline racers may only submit one entry.
If you miss the official start for any reason, you can still submit a time manually on the ErgZone app within 30 days of the official race date to earn your EM Master race cap but you will be out of contention for the Ergon Metron Championship rankings and prizes.
