Adult
Biathlon & 5-K A scaled-down
version of traditional biathlons, our adult biathlon combines a five
kilometer race with a thirty kilometer bike ride. The footrace is on a
flat surface, out-and-back and is USATF certified. The bike race is a
challenging course with rolling hills on a highway surface. ANSI-certified helmets are
required and no drafting is allowed.
Registration opens at 6:30 a.m. and the race begins at
8:00 a.m. All entrants must have registered and received their race
number by 7:50 a.m.
