Electronic (E-Biathlon) Fall Race Series!

  • This event has passed.

Test your endurance and precision skills!

Our e-biathlon combines the physical endurance of cross-country running or cycling with the high-precision target shooting of traditional winter biathlon.

Choose your endurance race, run or bike or register for both.

The races use a Mass Start format , meaning that all competitors (Novice and Intermediate) start at the same time, then it is a race to the finish line!

Races 1&2 – Individual Mass Start Format

You will complete 4 running or biking laps, with 3 stops at the shooting range in between.

The distance(s) of the races are:

  • Novice: 4km on non-technical terrain.
  • Intermediate: 10km on partly-technical (blue) terrain.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Run or Bike a loop
  2. Stop and shoot
  3. Repeat until you’ve done 3 shooting rounds, and 4 laps total.
