Open Range | Juniors | GRP

The Outdoor Center has a 15-point range and a biathlon program that offers biathletes of all ages an opportunity to experience the sport. Read on to learn more about our regularly scheduled programs.

Open Range

We offer weekly Open Range Sessions on Sunday afternoons from 1:00-3:00pm. These sessions are for experienced biathletes only who bring their own 0.22 caliber biathlon rifles and ammunition (max velocity 360 m/s). Please email us if you are new to the program to confirm you are a good fit.

Open range includes access to roller loop (as seasonally appropriate) or ski trails. It often also includes some coaching help (for those interested) during the session from Green Racing Project biathletes.

Requirements

  • A Craftsbury Outdoor Center Yearly Membership + Biathlon Add-on OR the purchase of a biathlon day pass . The year-long membership option includes many other COC benefits that can be found here.

GRP

The Green Racing Project (GRP) is the Olympic Development ski, biathlon, rowing and running team supported by the Craftsbury Outdoor Center. The GRP biathlon team trains in Craftsbury and produces athletes who have been very successful at the national and international level of the sport. There are generally two paths to becoming a GRP biathlete; either previous successful biathlon results or previous successful ski results with the desire to take on the challenge of biathlon. In exchange for coaching, travel support, and room and board, athletes are asked to take on projects that contribute to the mission of the COC. Interested athletes should check out the GRP webpage and contact the biathlon coaching staff at biathlon@craftsbury.com.
