The competition is designed to foster a highly competitive environment for sprint-focused rowers while also providing an opportunity for those who may not traditionally focus on power to build it. This includes categories like lightweights and veterans, where the emphasis on power can be particularly beneficial, especially as athletes age.

The Erg Power Series aims to make sprinting less intimidating and more accessible. The workouts are designed to progressively build power and explosiveness, offering participants a chance to experiment, improve, and gain confidence.

The event organisers are  active on Instagram, where they share tips, tricks, and prep workouts to help participants get ready. The platform will also be used to promote and celebrate the successes and improvements of the athletes.

The competition is hosted on ErgZone, which is free to download and easy to connect with the Concept 2 PM5 monitor.
