Cross-Country skiing and Biathlon are Olympic Winter sports. Cross-Country skiing involves both Skate skiing and Classic skiing. Competitions may include Sprints, Pursuits, Relays, and Individual events. Biathlon combines Skate skiing and small-bore Rifle Marksmanship. Cross-Country Ski Nova Scotia, and Biathlon Nova Scotia, promote, develop, and govern, all aspects of Cross-Country skiing and Biathlon respectively, in Nova Scotia.
Jackrabbits, Track Attack, and Trailblazers, are community based Cross-Country ski skill development programs, for Youth aged 5-16 years of age, created by Cross Country Canada. Biathlon Bears is a community Biathlon sport program, under the umbrella of Biathlon Canada, and geared for youth aged 8 - 14 years of age.
Martock Nordic runs both of these programs and hosts regular events. You can find out more about these programs by clicking on the Programs Menu on the left.
