In vier Monaten wurden sechs Sessions a` 30 Minuten an den Ergometern ausgetragen und versucht so viele Meter als m\u00f6glich zu sammeln, einerseits f\u00fcr die Einzel- als auch f\u00fcr die Teamwertung. Es ist erfreulich, dass dieses Format einer Challenge nach nun mehr als einem Jahrzehnt nichts an seiner Attraktivit\u00e4t eingeb\u00fc\u00dft hat. In diesem Jahr folgten 46 Vereine aus Nah und Fern dem stillen Ruf der Challenge und brachten nicht weniger als 1.440 Teilnehmer*Innen (M=868, F=572) auf die verschiedenen Ergometer. Dabei kamen neben dem Concept2 RowErg auch noch eine gro\u00dfe Gruppe mit dem Concept2 BikeErg (29), eine handliche Gruppe mit dem WaterRower (6) sowie noch Concept2 Dynamic (3), Concept2 SkiErg (1), Concept2 Slides (1), TechnoGym (1), RP3 (2) und Taurus (1) zum Einsatz. Und in der Gesamtleistung konnten mit 26.832.911 Meter eine Topleistung von allen Teilnehmer*Innen erreicht werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x507.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x507.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Das Ziel der Challenge mit den Ergebnissen der besten vier Runden als Mann mindestens 30.000 Meter und als Frau mindestens 26.000 Meter zu erreichen, setzt eine gute Fitness voraus. So konnten sich in dieser Saison 98 M\u00e4nner und 65 Frauen \u00fcber das Erreichen dieses Zieles erfreuen. Da aber das Erreichen dieses Zieles mit fortschreitendem Alter immer schwieriger wird, ist ein vergleichen innerhalb der Altersklasse die beste Motivation.

Over four months, six 30-minute sessions were held on the ergometers, with participants striving to accumulate as many meters as possible for both individual and team rankings. It&#8217;s gratifying that this challenge format has lost none of its appeal after more than a decade. This year, 46 clubs from near and far answered the challenge&#8217;s call, bringing no fewer than 1,440 participants (868 men, 572 women) to the various ergometers. In addition to the Concept2 RowErg, a large group used the Concept2 BikeErg (29), a smaller group used the WaterRower (6), as well as Concept2 Dynamic (3), Concept2 SkiErg (1), Concept2 Slides (1), TechnoGym (1), RP3 (2), and Taurus (1). And in terms of overall performance, a top performance of 26,832,911 meters was achieved by all participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x507.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-1024x507.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-768x380.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png 1134w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge&#8217;s goal of covering at least 30,000 meters for men and at least 26,000 meters for women, based on the results of the best four laps, requires a high level of fitness. This season, 98 men and 65 women were able to celebrate achieving this goal. However, since reaching this target becomes increasingly difficult with age, comparing performances within one&#8217;s age group is the best motivation. In addition, two new challenge records were set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHAIKOVSKYI Nazar, Donau Wien<\/strong> in the Junior A category with 33,407 meters, and <br><strong>LEISTER Barbara, RV Gmunden<\/strong> in the Masters Women F category with 17,034 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"511\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5.png 511w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-300x215.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"511\" height=\"355\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6.png 511w, https:\/\/www.ergochallenge.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 511px) 100vw, 511px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>But as a special highlight, <strong>Raimund Haberl of LIA Vienna<\/strong> improved his own <strong>world record for the 30-minute <\/strong>event again after a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New world record in the Masters F Lightweight class (75-79 years) with 7,656 meters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encouragingly, the 11th Dirty Thirty Challenge once again saw a wide age range among the participants.
