Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon in Lisbon

On Saturday and Sunday, competitors were drawn all the way from Vermont, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, in order to participate in the fourth annual Primitive Snowshoe Biathlon event held in Lisbon, NY. It was a beautiful morning, perfect for snowshoeing, shooting, and even some tomahawk throwing. Sponsored by The Fort La Présentation Association and Forsyth’s Rifles, this event was helping to fund the construction of a waterfront recreation trail on Lighthouse Point in Ogdensburg, NY. The race was very fun to watch, and there was plenty of great food, coffee, and conversation afterwards. (Photo credit: Justin Dalaba)

It was a beautiful day and fun event, especially at the finish with the tomahawk throw. I hope to compete in this next year.
