What is Biathlon?

Biathlon is a unique winter sport that combines the endurance of cross-country skiing with the precision of rifle marksmanship. Originating from Scandinavian hunting techniques, it has evolved into an Olympic sport that tests both physical stamina and mental focus.

In Saskatchewan, biathlon has grown from a niche activity to a thriving sport with programs for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Our organization is dedicated to promoting biathlon across the province, providing training opportunities, competitions, and development pathways for aspiring athletes.

Whether you're interested in recreational participation or competitive excellence, Biathlon Saskatchewan offers programs that cater to everyone from beginners to high performance athletes.
