4.  Shooting Under the Lights Event:

Saturday night will have an optional biathlon run and shoot race event with bibs, a zero, and timing.  The real thing but without skis.  Zero begins at 8:15 so please arrive prior to 8:00 for bib pick-up, lane assignment, etc.  The lights will be on as come race time, it will be dark!  You may consider bringing a headlamp if you have one for some of the running as our lights do not extend well onto the portion of trails where we will run.
