BRITISH SCHOOLS’ MODERN BIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS 2014-2015
Pentathlon GB is delighted to announce that the details for the BRITISH SCHOOLS’ MODERN BIATHLON CHAMPIONSHIPS 2014-15 series of competitions are on the website and entries open at 11 am on 1st September. The format is exactly the same as last season. The series will culminate on 28th & 29th March 2015 at Olympic Park (the run has now been confirmed and will be on the South Lawn) and the swim at the London Aquatics Centre!
*************
Once again, all athletes will have the opportunity to qualify for both the British Modern Biathlon Championships and the British Schools’ Modern Biathlon Championships by entering just one preliminary competition being organised by the Pentathlon GB Regions, Clubs and Schools.
Dates for the preliminary competitions are on the website (see link below) and there are a few others to be added once confirmed. You can enter more than one competition if you wish to get more competition experience or improve your times. Entries open online on 1st September. Some of the closing dates are quite soon after you return to school after the summer break (the earliest is 11th September and the latest is 30th September) and some of the more popular competitions reached maximum capacity within a couple of days.
The British Modern Biathlon Championships will be held on 29th & 30th November 2014 at Tudor Grange Leisure Centre in Solihull. Competing here is a great opportunity for school age athletes to gain valuable competition experience and an opportunity to improve run and swim times for the British Schools’ Modern Biathlon Championships rankings list.
