The biathlon sport has its origins in an exercise for Norwegian soldiers, as an alternative training for the military. In 1960 the biathlon became an Olympic Sport and in 1992, women were first allowed to compete. 

     We welcome either those that skate or those that are classic skiers, both men, women, and youth. Men and women have both novice and experienced categories and kids have a single race where any technique works.

     We use regulation biathlon targets with five circular targets, which change from black to white when hit from a distance of 50 yd. Racers ski a loop, shoot prone, ski a loop, shoot standing, ski a loop. There is a 50yd penalty loop for each missed shot.
