It is free to register for Connor's Erg. If you are participating in the one-day challenge we ask teams FUNdraise $1000. To receive our limited edition tank, individuals need to have at least $25 on their FUNdraising page.

Other members of our gym/rowing club/school would also like to do Connor's Erg, but not the one-day event, can we also join the February all-month challenge?

Yes! If your gym/rowing club/school etc would also like to be part of Connor's Erg in the month of February (choosing your own rowing challenge), simply register for the month-long event with a unique email address (different from the one used for the one-day challenge). For assistance, contact info@rcdfoundation.org.
