Give biathlon a try as you get to experience the thrill of one of the most popular Winter Olympic sport disciplines. High powered skiing combined with rifle marksmanship makes biathlon a challenging and yet very unique and rewarding experience for athletes of all ages and ability levels.
From the day we opened our doors back in May of 2012 we committed to a performance-inspired biathlon program that would develop quality athletes for Canada’s Junior and Senior National Teams. That goal, in our minds, could only be achieved by developing quality individuals first, and that is nearly impossible without quality and continuous education.
Unlike the majority of the Nordic programs in Canada offering both cross country skiing and biathlon components, CBR coaches focus solely on biathlon training. This approach is modeled after the Sport School of Olympic Reserve systems of Russia and the Ukraine. At the core of these systems is the development of performance-inspired athletes and a natural progression to National Junior and Senior teams level.
Calgary Biathlon Racers are open to athletes of all ability levels (from beginner to high performance) and have a simple and yet detailed recruitment procedure in place to ensure that our program is the right fit for a potential new member. We kindly ask those interested in joining the program to follow these 4 simple steps:
