BIATHLETES: ARE YOU TWICE AS GOOD?


Many competitors will find our newest event to be our most challenging. Enter our biathlon and try a mile run and a timed swim. The swim will be in our climate-controlled pool, where the water temperature is always a comfortable 90 degrees. The running portion of the event will be held on our cross-country course. The two elements of the event do not need to be tackled in sequence.
