Denmark celebrates International Biathlon Day with exciting Track’n’Shoot event

International Biathlon Day was celebrated in Denmark on 27 May with an exciting Track’n’Shoot event at Herlev Atletik Stadion, bringing together participants of all ages for a fun and active competition format.

The event featured several heats across youth, junior, mixed and adult categories, with 5–6 teams competing in each race. Teams took part in a dynamic 4 x 400-metre relay combining running and shooting skills.

Each athlete completed a 300-metre run before stopping for five prone shots using supported shooting rests and standing targets. Missed targets resulted in a 20-metre penalty loop before athletes sprinted the final 100 metres to the exchange zone.

B4A Project Coordinator Kristian Wulff praised the format, saying: “Perfect setup for many people to be engaged and activated.”

The event created an energetic atmosphere for both athletes and spectators alike, highlighting the accessibility and excitement of biathlon-inspired activities while promoting the sport within the local community.
