Kazakhstan will celebrate International Biathlon Day with a nationwide series of family-friendly events across six regions: Shchuchinsk, Petropavlovsk, Pavlodar, Ridder, Kostanay, and a premium event in Astana. Each location will host a friendly relay pairing young athletes with their parents, fostering community spirit and family involvement in sport. Teams of two – one adult and one youth competitor – will take part in a run–shoot–run format, using 10-metre air rifles for the shooting element. Distances will be adapted to suit participants’ abilities, and a 50-metre penalty loop will be added for each missed shot, introducing the challenge of biathlon in a supportive environment. All participants will receive certificates or small gifts, ensuring that everyone is recognised for their efforts. By hosting activities in multiple regions, Kazakhstan aims to create a truly national celebration of biathlon, encouraging families to engage with the sport and inspiring future generations of athletes in a welcoming, festive atmosphere.
