Durango Nordic is teaming up with Durango DEVO to host Durango’s first ever mountain bike biathlon event on Saturday August 15th. No experience necessary to participate but plan on learning a cool new sport and having a blast! BYOBike required and laser biathlon rifles will be provided.

This event will be held at the FLC Factory Trails surrounding Animas High School.  Each race will be a mass start by age group, consisting of bike lap-shoot-bike lap-shoot-bike lap. Any missed shots will require a short penalty lap to be ridden. The total race length will be about 15 minutes of riding time, so the laps will be about 5 minutes each. First person across the finish line wins the race, so ride fast and try not to miss any shots since the penalty laps will make your race longer.

Cost: $10 for kids & $20 for adults (proceeds benefit Durango Nordic & Durango DEVO)

Schedule:

• 8:30-9am = In-Person Registration

• 9-10am = Intro to biathlon & laser rifles, then individual practice

• 10am-1pm (or longer depending on number of participants) = Races by age groups, starting with the youngest

Location: Animas High School - 22 Osprey Way

Note: Each participant must sign a waiver during registration, and must wear a helmet during race
