Air Rifle Biathlon set at Roberts Farm

NORWAY — The Western Foothills Land Trust will host its first event on the new Nordic trails at Roberts Farm Preserve in Norway with the Southern Maine Biathlon Club on Sunday, January 30.

The Club, which was formed to promote the sport within Maine, will provide six air rifles and will offer a morning biathlon clinic for participants from 10 a.m. to noon. As these rifles are a major investment, this is a great opportunity for Nordic skiers to experience and enjoy a biathlon.

After the morning training, two races will follow at noon: a 2k race for 10-18 year old competitors, and a 3k race for adults 18 and older.

On-line registration at www.wfltmaine.org is $7. Day of race registration is $10; registration will open at 9 a.m.  (www.somainebiathlon.com)
