Records are maintained by Concept2 here
Any new records are updated promptly on submission.
ROWfit and the IIRC race series adhere to Concept2 requirements.
Please note that these are ‘National Records’ based on nationality. Anyone can lay claim to a their national record no matter where it was rowed. A competitor that does not hold an Irish Passport or equivalent is not entitled to an Irish record even if achieved at the IIRC. These may be ‘Event Records’ – more to come on this.
All records (with the exception of 2000 metres, see below) must meet at least one of the following requirements:
We do not accept any records rowed on a Dynamic Indoor Rower. Ultra-distance records may have the monitor set for an interval workout. For more information, see the Ultra-Distance Records section below.
Please contact us at ranking@concept2.com if you have broken a record and met the requirements outlined on this page. Concept2 reserves the right not to accept a row as a record.
All 2000 metre record-breaking times must be rowed at a Concept2 sanctioned indoor rowing event with witnesses present. In addition, all 2000 metre record-breaking times must be rowed on Concept2 Indoor Rowers without Slides.
In accordance with regulations from on water events and indoor rowing championships around the world, lightweights must be weighed in no earlier than two hours before their race. Records from lightweights weighed prior to two hours before their row will not be recognized.
