123 Competitors took the course today in both an Experienced Biathlon Race and a Novice Race. Junior Team Member Raleigh Goessling held off both Olympian Garrot Kuzzy and Marathon winner Matt Liebsch (both shot 2x prone on standing and 2x standing on standing). Overcast skies in the early experienced race turned to blue skies and sunshine for the Novice event.

For those looking to try your skill at biathlon and get a feel for what the sport is like, come try out on of our novice events. This is the best way to get an idea of how it works, and how much fun biathlon is. There are unfortunately no more winter opportunities to race in one of our Novice events, but keep checking in as we will be building our summer race series soon, and will post it when available. Thanks to all those who came out and gave it a try!

At the novice events, we supply all the shooting equipment and safety training. You just need to bring your ski gear. As long as you can stand on skis, no other experience is necessary. Contact the organizer for the event if possible before arriving, and have fun!
