Come and try a whole new kind of event!
Run-Archery is a sport that combines target archery and running, similar to Olympic Biathlon. It is popular in Europe, but very new to the US, and is likely one of few events of this type in New England.
You’ll run four short cross country loops (totalling around 5 K), and shoot at targets in between. Like Olympic ski-rifle biathlon, keeping your heart rate low enough to shoot well is the challenge!
Shooting Distances-Novice- 10 yards for Youth, 15 yards for adults (all considered novice this first year). Instruction in safety will be given prior to race.
You can try this if you are new to archery, running, or both!

We could use some extra help the morning of the 21st.
