Raleigh Rowing Center and CrossFit Durham invite you to participate in the inaugural Durham Indoor Rowing Trials (D.I.R.T.) on March 20, 2010! This event promises to be a fun morning for participants, with lots of events to choose from, race t-shirts for every participant, medals for top finishers, and snacks. Medals will be awarded to the top three men and top three women in each event in the following age categories: under 14, 15-18, 19-25, 26-39, and 40+. Thirty dollars lets you register for as many events as you dare.

• 2000 meters. This is the premiere indoor racing distance. It's what the big dogs do at C.R.A.S.H.-B.s and it's a true test of physical fitness and mental toughness.
• 1000 meters. This is the masters outdoor sprint distance and it's available only to masters-age participants (21+). Yes, 21 makes you a master rower!
• 500 meters. If you like to blow it out at the beginning, this is the event for you. Don't hold back!
• 30 minutes. This is for those endurance athletes who can pace themselves and sustain some serious effort for a long time. Whoever rows the most meters in 30 minutes wins.

Online registration will be officially open through March 14. Athletes may register online after March 14, but but we cannot guarantee that you will receive your t-shirt on the day of the event (though you will eventually get one) or that you will be scheduled to race at the same time as other athletes in your age group. Same-day registration is also available, subject to the same caveats and a $5 late fee.

Proceeds will benefit Raleigh Rowing Center, a nonprofit rowing club for masters rowers, and Triangle Rowing Club, a nonprofit rowing club for junior rowers.

8:30 am - First event begins.
