Registration Notes

All racing will take place on one (1) rowing machine (or adaptive paddle machine) per team, with participants rotating on that machine in order to cover 45km of distance in the fastest time.  You only need to have the Kinomap app connected on one phone/ipad to the machine you are racing on, even if on relay teams of eight people.  In order to log your race time, you will need log in to the KinoMap App in order to synchronize machine with the app, for a verified, time-stamped race result. It is possible to submit race times more than once within the race submission window between October 18th and November 5th (11:55pm Pacific Standard Time).

Race results will NOT be posted until the day of the ATIR Coastal Rowing Race, on November 9, 2019, at the finish of the actual coastal rowing race. Each team will have a special avatar for the race course based on their category, which will be seen “racing” your global competitors who have also submitted race times on the Global Erg Challenge course on KinoMap. This “virtual” race will start with the starters gun of the on-the-water race, and a special Global Erg Challenge race day video and real-time tracking of avatars will be visible by anyone in the world. You will be able to watch your team’s 45km adventure around Hong Kong Island, from the comfort of your screen, wherever you may be at that time. Race results will be posted once participant avatars have finished the 45km course.

Fundraising Pledges for the Ocean

Aside from being an amazingly cool, iconic, global race, that people from around the world can participate in during the real on-the-water event, the goal is to bring sports and the environment together. Athletes are (and should be), the world’s best ambassadors for the protection of the environment, because they tend to use the outdoors for training, competing and recreating more than the average person. Your interest in our waters (fresh or salt) is an important component in broadening ocean appreciation and good water/environmental stewardship.

We hope, and encourage you to, raise funds for our work for improving the health of the ocean and our waters upstream, by seeking pledges from your network and community, either in terms of a certain amount of donation per KM raced, by a certain time challenge, or straight donation. Each team can create their own Global Erg Challenge fundraising page on our Simply Giving site, making it easy to share your participation and pride in racing around Hong Kong Island, for the Ocean. (https://www.simplygiving.com/event/atir2019) 

The top three teams (or solos) with the highest level of donations as of 24:00 Hong Kong Time on November 16th (one week after the race), will win special event windbreakers:

Proceeds of funds raised will be used to help expand the outreach, education and engagement of our Global Alert App, which allows people to report trash hotspots anywhere in the world’s waters or coastlines. This allows stakeholders in watersheds around the world to better manage and prevent trash from impacting their communities and environment. The app is currently in English and Spanish. We hope that some teams will be able to become ambassadors for the Global Alert App in their communities, and to help engage government, NGO, university or business stakeholders in the focus on plastic pollution reduction and impact in our waters. “See – Share – Solve” with Global Alert.
