9am-12pm • Pilgrim Park (behind the train station)

We're excited to add this free new event to the Waterbury Winterfest lineup for 2020! Bring your nordic skis to Pilgrim Park, loaner adult and junior skis will also be available, located behind the Train Station, for this family-friendly event and experience a 1.1km biathlon course complete with light laser rifles. Athletes ages 7 and up and of all abilities and levels are welcome to challenge themselves to the thrill of skiing as fast as you can and then slowing down to accurately shoot a laser rifle at targets along the course. Compete against yourself, or a friend! Try out sit skis used by paralympians and experience the challenge of only using your arms to balance and propel yourself around the course. All equipment provided by Capital Region Nordic Alliance, an organization focusing on year-round activities in the Nordic Sports of Biathlon, Orienteering, Snowshoeing, Cross-Country Skiing and Paralympic Nordic to the entire community, with particular attention to those individuals with special needs or disabilities. Green Mountain Adaptive Sports mission is to improve the quality of life for persons with disabilities living in or visiting Vermont by sponsoring participation in adaptive sports and recreational programs.
