Biathlon Events for week of Oct 25-31

Posted by

Hello biathlon families

There are a number of biathlon events for this week!

Oct 26 – T2T Range Session – Special Tuesday Evening Edition

Shooting under the lights!

Due to the Day camp on the weekend, the T2T range practice was cancelled, so we will be having a special Tuesday evening practice to make up for it. The range practice will be from 18:00-19:30 and will be under the lights! We will be doing a similar workout as the nordic T2T practice. It will get chilly quite fast in the evening, please bring the following:

  • Warm clothing – it will be chilly and damp.
  • Head lamps – the range is lit, but the surrounding area is not
  • Ski striding poles

Oct 28 – L2C Range Session – as normal!
