Curious about biathlon? Excited about the Olympics?

If so, come to the Birch Hill Cross Country Ski Center on Sunday, February 18, from 1:30 to 5pm for a biathlon information and entertainment event. Replays of biathlon events from the current Winter Olympics will be shown on a big screen. Members of the NSCF Biathlon Program will be there to answer questions about the local program. Actual biathlon competition rifles will be on display so you can get a look at what athletes are really using. Laser rifles will be available for anyone to try from 3 to 5pm. Tell your friends and challenge them to a laser rifle competition!

This event is a joint effort by the Biathlon Program of the Nordic Ski Club of Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks and Recreation Department.
