From Kara:
Thank you all for joining us at today’s Duluth Biathlon race. It turned out to be a good day for racing. Also thanks to all the volunteers that made it happen and thanks to the ladies that helped with lunch. It definitely takes a village and we appreciate the support from you all!
Thanks to all who came to Elk River and made the best of a low-snow winter!

As you might have guessed: several days of sun and 50-degree-F temperatures have eliminated our snowpack.
The race on March 1st will instead be a running race. Five laps as announced, with a total running distance of less than 5km (exact course is being planned), all of which will be on pavement.
Recent snowfall as opened our trails, hopefully we can hold on to it! Join us for a race on Saturday, March 1st. Event flyer with sign-up attached.
Join us at Mt. Itasca on Sunday, January 19th, for the 6th race in the Minnesota Cup series.
Event flyer, with sign-up link, attached to this post below.
This even has been canceled due to forecasted temperatures well below what’s acceptable for racing.
Attached is the event flyer for the Midwest regional races on January 4th and 5th.
This event has been moved to Mount Itasca, see newer post for flyer and sign-up form.
Originally scheduled for Elk River, this event has a high probability of being held instead at Mount Itasca due to low snow conditions at Woodland Trails. Updates will be published as decisions are made.
