BIATHLON

Enhance your physical fitness through participation in the sport of biathlon. Biathlon is an Olympic winter sport, which combines competitive, free-technique cross-country skiing and small-bore rifle marksmanship. Training consists of strength and cardiovascular conditioning as well as shooting practices.

51 Squadron will be conducting biathlon training beginning starting Saturday, 3 October 2026, in preparation for the Regional Biathlon Competition on 21 November 2026.

Cadet biathlon is a run-and-shoot sport that combines cross-country style running with air rifle marksmanship. Competitors complete running loops and stop at the range to engage targets, requiring both physical fitness and shooting accuracy under pressure.
