About

Telemark Biathlon Club is the new home of biathlon in the Northwoods of Wisconsin! Partnering with the American Birkebeiner, The Sandager Biathlon Venue will be a 12 target range located at the trailhead in Cable, WI, tying into the existing loops. Installation is underway!

The purpose of the Telemark Biathlon Club is:

– to establish and maintain formal affiliation with US Biathlon and other WI Biathlon clubs

– to provide training for members to be able to use the venue, as well as to provide the technical support for Birkie biathlon events

– to develop a biathlon youth program by augmenting current youth ski teams

– to own and maintain equipment and supplies, such as club owned practice rifles

– to partner with other local groups where interests are aligned (for instance, we are currently working with the Cable Rod and Gun club on getting a housed biathlon target at their rifle range)

Our “5 Targets” Mission

  • Grow local, regional and national interest in the sport of biathlon
  • Become a destination for biathlon training and events to be enjoyed by athletes of all ages, abilities and experience levels
  • Develop a strong youth program known for being a community of safety and celebration of all members
  • Equip parents and community members to contribute to coaching, staffing and volunteering at biathlon training and events
  • Give back to our local communities from a culture of environmental sustainability, volunteerism and gratitude

Telemark Biathlon Club is a member club of US Biathlon.
