Biathlon Project is a hit at School Heritage Fair

One of our new athletes had to participate in a Heritage Fair at the school. He was quick to pick the topic of his new favourite sport, biathlon. After lots of typing, printing, cutting and glueing his Heritage Fair project was chosen as one of a few projects to represent the school at the City Finals in a couple weeks. 

Good job and keep it up.

Despite the Spring Storm the Regina Biathlon Club's Open House was a Success!

Thanks to all who attended and most of all, our dedicated members for hosting a great event.

Even with the Spring storm we still had a great turnout for our open house. It was great to see lots of people coming to check out how much fun biathlon can be for the whole family. From the photos taken it looked like everyone had a good time. Early comments from participants was positive.

• “The boys had a blast”
• “We had such a great time at the Open House!”
• “My son was so happy about his day with the group.”

As always, if you  have any questions about biathlon, or joining the Regina Biathlon Club, don't hesitate to reach out. We hope to see some new faces in the coming weeks!

Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation Provincial Championships March 10&11 held at QVN

This past weekend athletes from all across Saskatchewan came down to the Qu'Appelle Valley Nordic club for the 2018 Biathlon Provincials. With the glut of snow that was dumped on Saskatchewan the week before the conditions at QVN were great. The folks at QVN put together an amazing event that was competitive and fun for all. As always the highlights from the athletes were the prize runs, chocolate milk, medals (cookie medals were a hit), and the music. 

Day 1- the race was a Sprint format taking the athletes on three loops through the valley split up by 2 rounds in the range. Even with a bit of a breeze all athletes shot well and skied powerfully. The race was completed with RBC athletes taking home a variety of medals and all were cheered as they crossed the finish.

Day 2 - the final race was an individual relay format. Athletes had 3 loops to complete and 2 rounds of shooting in the range. But each time they entered the range they were allowed up to 3 additional shots to hit their five targets. The weather cooperated and many athletes were able to use these extra shots to their advantage and shot clean, which allowed them to ski past the penalty loop and down into the bowl. 

It was a great two days with lots of sweat shed and many smiles. Thanks as always to all our Coaches, Parents and families that came to cheer our athletes on.
