October 2018 Events

Posted on October 15, 2018 by Minnesota Biathlon - Ben

Good Morning All,

Ok—coming up is our camp next weekend at Elk River on Saturday the 20th and race on Sunday the 21st. If you haven’t contacted me yet on those—please let me know asap. We have a couple openings on the Saturday camp [desire no more than 10] and the race on Sunday can accommodate 20 or so.

At the training day starting at 10:00, we will be working a lot of skate technique, dryland and on roller skis in the am. Early pm will be accuracy shooting, followed by some combos carrying rifles to get used to the extra weight.

Zero for the Sunday race will be at 10:00 am.

So if you plan to come to both events or just one or the other—please let me know asap!!

Thanks!
