The Regina Biathlon Club has provided biathlon-specific instruction and racing opportunities to the Regina area since 1980 and introduced the sport to National Team members Eric Jensen (National Team) and Scott Perras (National Team, Olympian – Sochi 2014), as well as countless athletes looking for a challenging and fun winter sport to enjoy. It continues to support biathletes of every age, skill level, and aspiration through its programming and partnerships with

Also preference will be given to youth athletes over masters athletes.
People wishing to access a Biathlon Saskatchewan rifle must be a member in good standing of Biathlon Saskatchewan, Biathlon Canada and a Saskatchewan Ski Association (Saski) registered club (e.g. the Regina Ski Club).
