Biathlon Race Etiquette
The Monthly race is a great community event, enjoyed by a wide range of ability in skiers. Whether you are a competitive racer or just want to have fun with your friends. But what everyone shares is a sense of respect.
Crowding: Sometimes the range becomes congested with skiers waiting for a rifle. This is part of the experience. Be patient, wait your turn and eventually you will get a rifle.
Passing: If you are skiing along with people behind you, ask them if they want pass. Check regularly to see if there is anyone on your tail. If you notice someone behind you all of a sudden, they have already beaten you. Let them pass you when it is safe to do so. Likewise, if you would like to pass the person in front of you, ask them politely if you can pass them. Make sure it is a safe place to pass, stay on the trail and thank them for letting you by It’s going to happen and you can’t take this too seriously. Smile and have fun.

Our Basic Rules
A biathlon competition consists of a race in which contestants ski around a cross-country track, and where the total distance is broken up by either one, two or four shooting rounds, All we be in prone position. Depending on the shooting performance, extra distance will be added to the contestant's total running distance. As in most races, the contestant with the shortest total time wins.
For each shooting round, the biathlete must hit five targets; each missed target must be "atoned for" in one way and only way.
- by skiing around a 150 metres (490 ft) penalty loop per target missed !
- This is a fun -hog race, There might be a time.
We will host the following competition format:
- Sprint
- Relay
- Individual
- Super 4x sprint
