Biathlon - Update for 2025-26
The region has decided that biathlon will be held as a running and shooting activity for the upcoming year (no winter biathlon). Cadets must be training (running) on their own for September, and are welcome to join the open workout on Oct 8. Cadets must attend at least one of the tryout dates: Oct 15 and 18, and be available for the patrol race weekend (Nov 15-16).
We will offer a Nordic Ski Club as a separate optional activity, as we have some cross-country ski equipment available to lend out for the winter to those wishing to join us.
