Need an opportunity to put on a bib and practice going hard? Join our low-key biathlon time trial. This is intended for biathletes, particularly juniors and masters, who would like an early season on-snow race but won’t be racing USBA senior trials. We won’t have fancy timing, awards, or our normal volunteer brigade. Rather, we will organize a collaboration among club coaches to help with range scoring and timing.
Who: Experienced biathletes who have a current USBA or Biathlon Canada membership.
Registration: Coming soon.
If your club is sending 3 or more athletes, we request at least one coach/parent/friend to volunteer with us on the range resetting targets, running a stop watch, shuttling rifles, etc.
Format: Sprint. 6k (4k for U13/15). Slighlty shortened penalty loop. Exact course dependent on snow conditions.
U13/15 can opt for cuff of block options and will shoot prone only (small targets, big targets.)
U13/15/17 only carry rifle rack-to-rack. (Rifle can be brought to mat by coach for less experienced U13/15 participants.)
Schedule:
10:40 Coaches meeting and task assignments
11:00 Zero
Noon Race start
