Biathlon
Biathlon Team
Biathlon the ultimate combination of marksmanship, running, and cross-country skiing. It requires tremendous endurance and strength as well as skill and precision. Unpredictable elements including weather and wind conditions make this outdoor sport a fun and rewarding challenge that thousands of cadets participate in each year.
Cadet biathletes participate in a series of competitions at the local level that culminate in provincial / territorial competitions and an annual National Cadet Biathlon Championship. Many of our cadets have long reaped the benefits of competitive biathlon programs at the local, zone, provincial / territorial and national levels.
Biathlon Practice starts in September. This is a great opportunity for cadets to improve their fitness level and develop new skills. Wear comfortable clothing, running shoes, bring a water bottle and a pocket snack. See you at the track!
If you require any further information, please contact Biathlon Coach.
