The Vancouver Island Biathlon Club will host the Biathlon BC Provincial Championships from Feb. 28-March 1. The event promises to draw hundreds of biathletes, parents, spectators, and supporters.
Biathlon is an Olympic sport combining cross-country skiing with rifle marksmanship. This event not only presents a great chance for the biathlon club to showcase its great facility but will also allow visitors to enjoy the abundantly snowy trails of the Mt. Washington Alpine Resort and the warm hospitality of the Comox Valley.
Help needed
Biathlon is unlike any other sport, and help is needed to make sure this important event is a success! Volunteers are required in positions from recording the fast-paced results in the range to ski times out on the course. Anyone interested in joining in on the fun and volunteering for this event is asked to send an email to volunteer4vibc@gmail.com.
Draw prizes needed
To contribute to the festive atmosphere of the championships, the Vancouver Island Biathlon Club is seeking items to be used for draw prizes. To contribute, or to offer suggestions, contact Pat Douglas at bpdouglas@shaw.ca
