Camp Description:
Do you thrive on challenge? If so, biathlon is the sport for you! Running biathlon combines two completely different disciplines: the heart-pounding exertion of running and the zen-like focus of precision shooting.

This camp is designed for runners who have little or no prior shooting experience and are open to trying something new. You’ll learn from Olympic biathlete and Craftsbury Running Director, Susan Dunklee, about breathing and mindfulness techniques that biathletes use to calm themselves mid-race. We’ll teach you rifle safety, provide all the necessary equipment for biathlon shooting, instruct you in proper shooting techniques and give you opportunities to test your new skills including a fun, novice biathlon race. Running Biathlon for Beginners will also include all your favorite elements of a Craftsbury running camp such as running-specific coaching, endless gravel roads, amazing community, dips in Great Hosmer, and of course incredible food from our renowned dining hall.
