We hope you can join the amazing Global Erg Challenge in 2019, on November 9th, now in its second year. This race allows you to row around Hong Kong Island, 45km, with an Erg, from anywhere in the world, for the ATIR Coastal Rowing race, which this year, is one week after the World Coastal Rowing Championships, also in Hong Kong.
The ATIR Global Erg Challenge is an amazing new combined event of onshore and offshore rowing (and adaptive paddling) that is organized by Ocean Recovery Alliance, an NGO focused on ocean protection, in collaboration with the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and their famous Around the Island Race (ATIR), and KinoMap with the video and mapping software. See our Race Day Video below, with synchronized mapping of videos of the island, with the GPS locations of the teams competing (each with their own avatar from their Erg time of 45km). For more infomration, please contact us.
From almost anywhere in the world, you can now take part in this onshore global event (as long as you have a machine that syncs with KinoMap), allowing you to experience the 45km of beautiful shoreline, amazing skylines and incredible waters of Hong Kong. This is an event to promote ocean protection as well, and prizes will be given for teams that raise the most pledges/donations. Each team can make their own funding page easily through this site. Due to time zones, you will have two weeks to log in your fastest time as a solo rower, relay team, or paddler (adaptive paddle machines can be used too). This will be completed using the KinoMap app, and on Race Day, November 9th, every team’s avatar will be placed on the map to then “race them” around the island in their respective categories, so that you can see how you finish vs. others.
Categories include: 1) Men’s, Women’s, Mixed 2) High School, University, Corporate, Open 3) Solo, 2s, 4s, 8s or with paddle adapter – solo, 2man, 6man (outrigger), 10man (dragon boat), or C2s. The incredible part of this technology is that when they race on the machine, they can see a full video of HK Island, synchronized to their speed, as they compete.

Let us know if you have any questions, and we hope to see you on the Erg, or the Water! The top three teams which raise the most funds for our work for the ocean will receive a special prize as well.
