Sunday, November 23, 2025, 9 am CST Burn some to earn some! Join us for a Thanksgiving Day virtual 6K erg race! Start the day with a solid metabolism boost to prepare yourself for what comes next. All are welcome! Happy Thanksgiving! Hello Erg Rats, Erg Racers, Fools, Friends, and Family! I am crazy thankful for all of you who row/have rowed with us, so I am going to have some fun with our Turkey Day 6K event. EVERYONE who enters will get a prize! I have a bunch of race merchandise hanging around from past events, and other gear left over from Ride Backwards (my rowing apparel shop) that I want in the hands of our people, (or your people if you want to pay it forward) not on my shelf. It’s a grab bag of racing merch and apparel goodies that are both fun and functional. All you have to do to score a prize is enter the Turkey Day 6K and you’re already a winner! Both Speed Pass and Full-Entry registrations will get a prize. Everyone means everyone! Full-Entry registrations get extra decals and social media shares. 📢 Only two TDAY6K potholders remain! They will be awarded to the fastest female and male 6K scores. ⏰ We will race live virtually on ErgZone at 9 am CST, on Sunday, November 23. Racers may compete in their own time zones, or race offline independently, but all 6K scores must be submitted on ErgZone with a screenshot of your monitor screen within 24 hours to win AMAZING potholder 1st place awards. * The Turkey Day 6K event will be open to submit your scores on ErgZone as soon as we finish the live virtual event here in Chicago at 9 am CST. Deadline to submit is 9 am CST Monday, November 24. 🥇All results are ranked on Concept2. If you have a PR or World Record in your sights, this is a great opportunity to lay it down. This our final Turkey Day 6K at Fools Fest Sprints! Let’s burn some together and celebrate Thanksgiving! Tell your peeps, more butts in seats makes the competition that much more fun!
