One-off competitions built for a specific reason. Not the regular calendar.
// Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM
A .22LR rifle-only biathlon through the fields and woods of Pawnee County. Your kid runs the same course and the same stage locations as the Twilight Biathlon that runs later that same evening — different targets sized for .22s, same terrain, same format, same clock.
Parents run with their kids. Parents do not shoot, do not carry the rifle, and do not help on stages or obstacles. The point is for the kids to do it themselves and walk away understanding how a Run N Gun actually works.
All times America/Chicago. Registration closes two weeks before match day — there is no walk-up entry.
A PayPal invoice is sent to you after you register on PractiScore.
Two laps. Rifle distances 40–100 yards. Round count TBD.
Three divisions. Pick the one that matches your kid's age and experience — not the one that sounds better.
.22LR rifle only. Any action type, any barrel length. What matters is that the rifle fits your kid and that your kid can run it without help.
This runs exactly like the Twilight Biathlon. If you have never shot that format, read this twice.
Assigned at check-in. Whether that number is odd or even determines which stages your kid shoots on which lap.
Even run number: shoot the even-numbered stages. Odd run number: shoot the odd-numbered stages. Run past the others.
Flip it. Even run numbers now shoot the odd stages; odd run numbers shoot the even stages. Every competitor shoots all 4 stages across the two laps.
Slack lines, walls, and low crawls, plus whatever the terrain throws at you. Run buddies do not assist unless there is a genuine safety issue.
Mandatory. Both the competitor and the run buddy must attend to run. No exceptions.
The Twilight Biathlon White Light division runs the same course that evening.
