Minnesota Biathlon

Mt. Itasca in Coleraine Minnesota has been chosen to host the National Biathlon Championships for the US in March of 2008. This will also be the North American Championships so we can expect to see the top biathletes from the US and Canada competing.

In addition, we will be hosting the US Masters Biathlon Championships at the same time. The Masters will have separate races on age appropriate separate courses. (This is a result of the efforts of the USBA Masters Committee, on which Lou Chouinard represents Minnesota.)

We really need to have a strong showing of Minnesota Masters biathletes – including those who consider themselves to be “retired”, not-currently-training, or otherwise inactive…

Racing will be on Thursday, March 20 (the Vernal Equinox), Saturday 3/23 and Sunday 3/24 (Easter).

This will be a joint effort between the Mt Itasca Biathlon Association, MN Biathlon, and USBA. As such, we will need lots of participation and volunteer help.

More details later but please mark your calendars now!
