The countdown is on. The 17th annual SkiErg World Sprints are back this November 6–9, 2025, and it’s time to prove how fast you can go over 1000 meters on the SkiErg.

Whether you’re training solo in your garage or throwing down at your local functional fitness gym, this global Concept2 challenge is your chance to test your engine and represent your club, your team, or just your own relentless drive.

“SkiErg sprints are a pure test of power and pacing. 1000m doesn’t take long — but it will take everything.” — Richard Branson, RB100.Fitness
