On March 7th New York Biathlon will run their final race for the season.  The final race will be a sprint run on the biathlon side of Mt. Vanhovenburg.  Registration can be placed through March 5th on skireg.com/nychampionships.  The race distances will be 6 km for U17 and Grand Master Females; 7.5 km for U19, U21 Females, Sr. Females, Master Females, and Grand Master Men; 10 km for U21 Men, Senior Men and Master Men.  Entry fee is $25 for this race.  Registration is at 8:30, Zero at 9:00 and race start at 10:00.

In the afternoon there will be a Nordic Relay, an approximate 8 km distance for relay teams of two or three people.  At this point it appears that there will be two legs of classical skiing, and four legs of freestyle.  Ski-O and biathlon will be included for those that are interested in participating.  The final lap of the relay is a biathlon lap.  All racers must either shoot prone on standing target or if they do not wish to shoot they will be required to carry a pack that weighs approximately 7.5 lbs.  This will be the second year for this relay.  Last year it worked quite well and all racers appeared to have a great time racing this event.  The fee for this race is $15, but if you are racing in the sprint event the entry fee for both races will be $40.

Hopefully you will come out and support this final weekend of racing.  There will be a 17.5 km Nordic race on Sunday morning and a Ski-O race on Sunday morning as well.  Awards will be given for each class!  Remember, you can’t win it if you don’t enter!  See you on March 7th!
