Biathlon is now in the World Masters Winter Games in Quebec City!

Dear masters biathletes,

I hope this email finds you well.

I would like to thank you all for your patience. I know it has been a long waiting.

After a few months of analyzing the costs and feasibility of adding biathlon to the programme of the Winter World Masters Games, I’m happy to inform you that biathlon will be part of the Games!

The following distances will be offered: 

- Individual Men: 5 km, 7.5, 10km, 12.5km

- Individual Women: 7.5km

- Sprint Men: 9km, 6km, 5km

- Sprint Women: 5km

- Relais Men: 3x6km

- Relais Women: 3x5km

The distances will depend on the age categories.

The exact dates of races will be announced when the website is launched but without big changes, the races will take place on the second weekend (5-8th Feb. 2015)

The venue will be: Centre de biathlon Myriam-Bédard: http://www.centrecastor.com/activites-d-hiver/biathlon

The website will be launched by the end of June and registrations will open shortly after.

I would like to thank you once again for your patience. You can now get ready for the Games! 

Best regards,
