The final stage of the Biathlon Run National Tour will take place on Saturday, October 10, at the Anneau de Vitesse in Grenoble, according to a report. This event follows the third stage, which was held near Dijon two weeks earlier. The competition combines running with laser rifle shooting at a distance of 10 meters, featuring both individual and relay events. The format aims to preserve the spirit of biathlon while making it accessible and family-friendly for all participants, from beginners to experienced athletes. The French Biathlon Federation (FFS) is using this national circuit to promote the sport and increase its popularity across France.
The event will begin with the opening of the village at the Anneau de Vitesse at 8:00 AM. At 9:00 AM, participants can attend 30 to 45 minutes of coaching sessions led by professionals. At 9:45 AM, young competitors will take part in mass starts for races ranging from 1.2 to 2.7 kilometers. Another coaching session will follow at 10:30 AM, leading to a sprint for adults at 11:30 AM, covering 4.5 kilometers. In the afternoon, at 2:00 PM, there will be another coaching session, followed by a relay race involving teams of three at 2:45 PM.
The Biathlon Run National Tour has held five stages from late May to early October. The second stage, originally planned for this weekend in Orleans, was postponed due to high temperatures and will now take place in the spring of 2027. Other events in the series have been held in Bessat and Corcelles-les-Monts, near Dijon. The FFS continues to organize these events to encourage participation and provide a welcoming environment for people of all ages and skill levels to experience biathlon.
