This event will be held at OSCEOLA SKI & SPORT in OSEOLA, NY and is open to all levels, ages 13 and over.

This is the second day of the Syracuse/Polar Bear Pursuit Weekend Challenge. This isi an ongoing series that names the top female and male competitor in the weekend challenge. It is not necessary to enter both days if you can only make it to one event. The Sunday event will be a pursuit format running five loops and shooting four times. With the loosening Covid restrictions, we will be able to have novice competitors competing at this event but first timers must attend a rifle safety/biathlon orientation session the morning of the race.
