Biathlon is a combination of cross-country skiing (skate) or running and marksmanship.
​
Cadets interested in participating do not need existing experience in marksmanship nor cross country skiing to participate in the Try-Outs. Coaches and Officers are present to develop participants toward their own excellence goals: Fitness, Marksmanship skills, Confidence and Sportsmanship. Training material (skis, boots, poles and rifles) will provided.
​
Cadet bi-athletes participate in a series of competitions at the local level that culminate in provincial competitions and an annual National Cadet Biathlon Championship.
​
Whether you are aiming for success or achievement in biathlon, physical fitness or just participating in an exciting sport - there are golden opportunities available through the cadet biathlon. This ever-popular program has produced many world class athletes, including Myriam Bédard and Jean-Philippe LeGuellec.
