Event Info:

If you're anything like us, you're ready to get on skis! Biathletes will have a chance to measure early season fitness Friday and Saturday, November 27-28 with two races.

Friday, November 27:  Sprint
Men 10k, Women 7.5k, Juniors 5k
Club rifles for juniors or beginners who don't own their equipment. (may want to drop a line to confirm availability)
$15 entry
10:00am start

Saturday, November 28:  SuperSprint
Quarter, semi and final sprint heats with 3 ski loops, 2 shooting stages, 1.5-2k in total length per round. Heats seeded based on finish in Friday's sprint.
Sorry, no rifles available for the SuperSprint - bring your own equipment.
$10 entry
10:00am start

Registration for both days is at Skireg. Acknowledging the volatile nature of early season skiing, refunds will be offered for participants who pre-register on Skireg should we not have enough snow to hold the race. DOR will be available as well, for an additional $10/head tacked on to the prices above. Minimal prizes this go round, just an early season opportunity to test yourself on snow.

9:00am zero both days. Novices:  budget an extra half hour; you'll need to attend our 30 minute safety clinic starting at 8:30am prior to zeroing.

NOTE:  To participate in the Thanksgiving Biathlon races, you'll need a US Biathlon license. If you don't have a full annual license, we'll have paperwork available for you onsite to get a $10 one day membership at bib pickup.

We're working on a freestyle ski race later this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for that as well.
