The excitement is building for the first-ever LOOP ONE Festival, set to transform Munich’s Olympic Park into a vibrant venue with biathlon races and festival vibes. Among the highlights will be the largest-ever Biathlon 4 All (B4A) experience, inviting visitors to try their hand at one of winter sport’s most thrilling disciplines - right in the heart of the city.
For the first time, three full shooting ranges with a total of ten lanes each (featuring both prone and standing positions as well as rifles for people with visual impairment) will be installed across three iconic Olympic Park locations: Hans-Jochen-Vogel Platz, Kleine Olympiahalle, and Halbinsel.
The experience will be powered by leading biathlon suppliers KiwiPrecision, EcoAims, and Anschütz, with around 50 expert coordinators and instructors from the clubs of the Bayerischer Skiverband (BSV) on hand to guide participants safely through the action.
As part of the LOOP ONE Activity Pass, B4A invites festivalgoers to take part in five different sporting activities, collect stamps, and compete for prizes - making it a perfect adventure for families and sports fans alike. Children can also join in the fun with Biathlon 4 All tattoos and stickers, adding a colourful, playful touch to the day.
A special parkour area on the roof of the Kleine Olympiahalle will challenge even the most energetic visitors and add an extra layer of excitement to the festival’s dynamic atmosphere.
Visitors will have the unique opportunity to meet some of Germany’s most celebrated biathlon champions throughout the weekend as they will be coming to the B4A shooting ranges, sharing their stories and giving tips on handling biathlon shooting:
