LAKES REGION — The Pemi Fish and Game Club has announced their winter biathlon schedule for the upcoming season with the first event — the 2nd Annual Mt Button Classic — to be held beginning at 8 a.m. on Sunday, December 12.
Organized by Angelo Baroni, participants will ski en mass out to The Button, top it if snow conditions allow, then ski back to the range for the shooting portion of the match. There will be a one-minute penalty for each miss.
According to Baroni, this is more of an outing than a race. The skiing will be Nordic or classic cross-country. The total distance will be around 10 K. Participants should bring back country skis, a day pack, and a rifle. Loaners are available with advance notice. Drinks are also recommended as well as extra hats and gloves.
Once back at the range, teams of two will alternate five shots each and when finished with four stages, ski to a finish line where the time ends.
Registration will be at the clubhouse from 8 — 9 a.m. The fee is $15. If it rains, the event will be cancelled.
