What is a Rowathon?
A Rowathon utilizes Concept2 rowing machines to allow a team (up to 10 people) to chip away at 42,195 meters - which equates to a marathon. You and your teammates will take turns rowing until you achieve that distance as a team.
There are a few ways to get involved in this amazing event:
Single rower: Single rowers can reserve their spot on a team for $50/person.
Team: You can put together your own team or join a team in need.
To join a team, please contact molly@crossfitthunderbolt.com
Sponsorship: We invite you to become a sponsor of the Thunderbolt Rowathon benefitting Naperville Area Humane Society. By partnering with us, you can help make this event a success while gaining valuable exposure for your brand - and helping homeless animals. We have a two-tier sponsorship system:
Tier one ($100 donation) will include sponsoring one of the row teams. This will include a logo of your choice on a free-standing sign which will be set up next to one of the row machines.
Tier two ($200 donation) will include the opportunity to set up a promotional table at the event. Promotional tables will be set up inside the event space and can include any marketing materials and swag items you would like to show off or pass out to participants.
