Concept 2 Records​

U.S. Veterans' Rowing and Kayaking is proud to have members who have broken numerous Concept 2 records.
​World and American records are broken down into three categories: (1) Static indoor rower (2) Indoor rower with Slides (3) Dynamic Indoor Rower.

These three equipment categories are then further categorized by gender, weight and age. Most indoor races take place over 2000 meters and we have World and American records for this distance, as well as adaptive world records for the adaptive race distance of 1000 meters.
