RACE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

COLORADO BIATHLON CLUB  - MASS START - SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31 - SNOW MOUNTAIN RANCH

The Mass Start is one of the most exciting formats in Biathlon racing as the entire wave of racers leaves the start line at the same time for a five lap race with four shooting  bouts.  At the end of each of the first two laps, you will shoot Prone.  At the end of the third and fourth laps, you will shoot Standing (except for the kids who will always shoot Prone).  You then will ski as fast as you can on your final lap to the finish where the first person to cross the line wins the race (of course, we plan to track everyone's race time and shooting statistics which will  be posted with the results).

We have put together the following courses which we hope will get your juices flowing:
