Initially conceived as a local warm-up for the World Championship CRASH-Bs in late February, the Crash-Bobs has taken on a life of its own, now attracting dozens of hard-corps pain seekers to Hull in the deepest depths of winter. The day’s ergometer races come in many shapes and sizes, and include both 2000 and 5000 meter pieces, as well as relays and sprints for distance. Individuals and teams compete in race categories that recognize the very young (six year olds), the more “mature” (82 is our age to beat), and those of all emotional ranges in between.

The centerpiece of the day is the notorious Liffmann Challenge, a biathlon combining rowing and hill running. The course is comprised of a 5000-meter erg pull immediately followed by a 2.5 mile sprint through (up and down) Hull’s hilliest neighborhood.

*Drop ins are welcome for the individual events, but those participating in the Liffmann Challenge must pre-register by phone to reserve an erg seat by calling Ed McCabe at 781-925-5433.
