Crosscut Shootout

The Crosscut Shootout is a fun, informal, community biathlon event on September 20, 2025, open to all ages and experience levels. The morning features sprint-style bike and run biathlon races, while the afternoon brings a lighthearted team shootout competition.

Participants can join just the races, just the shootout, or both—no experience required! Local businesses and community teams are especially encouraged to enter the afternoon shootout, where coordinated outfits and team spirit are just as important as marksmanship. Come out to Bridger Canyon for a low-key challenge and support Crosscut’s biathlon program.
