RUNNING
Congratulations to all participants in the fourth event of the Shawn’s Splash n Dash Off-Season Social Biathlon Series for 2025/2026. A big thank you goes to Jim Ford for once again coordinating the series, and to Adam Knezevic for keeping everyone cool with those all-important Zooper Doopers.
Despite the very warm conditions, participants showed great awareness and paced themselves sensibly. Next Sunday marks the halfway point of the series, followed by a full break throughout December. Events will resume in January 2026 to complete the program.
The biathlon series is free to join; however, participants are reminded to pay the $5 entry fee at the pool kiosk before accessing the track and pool facilities. A gold coin donation is also appreciated to help cover the cost of the Zooper Doopers.
See you all again very soon!
