BIATHLON
Welcome to the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage Biathlon Page! Click on our Race/ Event Calendar link for information on our summer time trial series and the Bill Meyer and other training camp opportunities for biathletes. Check back to our Range Opening Calendar and other links to the right for the latest shooting practice schedule, information on joining Alaska Biathlon and other information on taking part in biathlon in Alaska. Please contact Diane Ramey to be added to our newsletter and news blast email lists for the latest information on biathlon activities. About Us The NSAA Biathlon Committee supports an active biathlon community in South Central Alaska. Biathlon, which combines skiing with shooting, is a challenging sport which requires fitness and concentration. Races are planned monthly November through March at the Kincaid Biathlon Range. Summer biathlon races which combine rollerskiing, mountain biking, or running with shooting are held during the summer.
The Biathlon Committee is volunteer driven and supported by biathletes and race participants. The committee manages the Kincaid Range which is located a short walk south of the Kincaid Chalet. The range serves as the focal point for biathlon races at the park. Participation requires rifle safety certification, which includes instruction on safe rifle handling practices, care and use of a biathlon rifle and biathlon technique. The committee makes 22 caliber biathlon rifles available for use during range openings and races. The Biathlon Committee is providing input to the Kincaid Project plan which involves relocating and upgrading the biathlon range as well as constructing soccer fields, a rollerski loop, disc golf courses, and providing snowmaking capabilities. The committee also is considering directions that we would like the sport of biathlon to develop in Alaska within the framework of the USBA National Program. If you have ideas or topics to suggest, or thoughts pertinent to these two general topics, please contact the Biathlon Committee Chair Tom Grenier at tomgrenier@alaska.net.
