BAY 1: Biathlon

Biathlon pairs cross-country skiing or running with rifle shooting at distance—it's the event that separates shooters who can hold a steady sight picture after their heart rate is maxed out. Routt County Rifle Club is hosting an intermediate-level biathlon on May 10, 2026, that tests both your cardio and trigger control in one go.

Missed targets add penalty laps, so accuracy matters as much as speed. You'll alternate between the course and the firing line, proving you can shoot tight groups when you're breathing hard. It's a real test of marksmanship under fatigue.
