Biathlon Orienteering Evening
July 10th 2025 5:00pm - 8:00pm
Organizers: JP Buysschaert (Event Director), Rich Pettit (Organizer)
Biathlon Orienteering makes it's return to Kimberley.
Join us on Thursday Evening- July 10th up by the base of the Kimberley Alpine resort for the merger of two unique activities - Orienteering and Biathlon. Navigate an orienteering loop in the area and then come to the range to fire the Eco-Aim Light Rifles. Miss one of your shots? Run a penalty loop that will delay you going out on the next loop. Run too fast and you're more likely to miss your shots. Run too slow and you'll drop down the standings.
There's two courses on offer: A regular course that will have two orienteering loops and two visits to the range, and an Expert course with three tours around, the third orienteering loop being more challenging.
Rifle Training: 5-545pm Orienteering begins at 6pm.
Come out and participate. Not only should this be a great evening, we'll be testing our set-up for the BC Champs this October so the more people we have out the better we'll be prepared for an even bigger Biathlon-O.
If you don't wish to run around - please come out anyway and spectate, we'd love to have you there. We could also use a few extra helpers as course marshals.
If it's raining that evening we'll have to re-schedule the event.
NOTE - you must be a member of KOC to participate in this event.
