The word biathlon is from the Greek word meaning "two tests". The combination of skiing and shooting used in the sport today is founded on a tradition of hunting, stemming back over four thousand years.

At Highlands Nordic we are proud to offer the Biathlon Bears program..  We introduce the skills and techniques of Biathlon while promoting fun, fitness, safety, and participation. Our program runs Wednesday nights starting in October with a focus on firearm safety, biathlon range etiquette, cross country ski technique, fitness, and racing.  Biathlon is a sport that combines the mental and physical components of sport... come prepared to work hard and have a great time!
