Grafton Ponds Biathlon Race
Jan 21, 2012 | 10:00 amGrafton Ponds
783 Townshand Rd., Grafton
Grafton Ponds Outdoor Center will kickoff its winter Biathlon series on Saturday, January 21. It is the only Biathlon course offered in southern Vermont. Our biathlon races are composed of a combination of Nordic skiing and target shooting (with safe laser guns). “Biathlon training helps to develop understanding and awareness of shooting skills, and helps teach the body how to calm itself after physical excursion,” explained Bill Salmon, Grafton Ponds Director. “That is a benefit to athletes at every level. It also adds another exciting element to cross country skiing.” Races will occur weekly, beginning at 10 a.m. and are open to all ages and abilities. Cost will be $10 per person. Private course runs and groups are welcome with advance notice. More at graftonponds.com.
