Cariboo Ski Touring Club Regional Biathlon Competition January 14, 2023     HOST: Cariboo Ski Touring Club LOCATION: Hallis Lake Ski Trails   OBJECTIVES: This is intended to be a low pressure, fun competition to allow athletes and coaches an opportunity for a mid-winter race.   There will be two competitions: 1) Formally organized sprint competition, timed with Zone4 software and timing chips. 2) Fun relay(s) - prefer a two-person mixed format (each athlete gets two legs = 4 shoots), but final decision will depend on number of participants and weather.
