5K/10K Run n Gun Biathlons

Post by Unbridled Liberty » Sun Dec 17, 2017 7:57 pm

We have been running "biathlon" type events here in Kentucky over the past year. We did 3 in 2017; March, September and November, all at Rockcastle Shooting Center near Park City. These are kind of a 2-gun match combined with a tough mudder.

We are planning more for 2018, one of which will be at Rockcastle Shooting Center in March. Registration went live yesterday and tickets for the 5K sold out in about 11 minutes, and they are compiling a waiting list. I believe there are still some 10K spots open. https://www.facebook.com/events/1694526563922793/

Another event will be the Heartbreak 5/10K at Bluegrass Sportsmans League in Wilmore, just south of Lexington. Registration just went hot tonight and I hear that the 10K is filling up quickly but 5K has openings. https://www.facebook.com/events/1288981797874883/

Here are a few links to videos of past events.

That looks like fun

Somebody was just asking me if there will be other events in Kentucky in 2018. Well, this was just announced today:

The Run for Your Life Zombie 10K Run N Gun
Saturday, November 3, 2018 at 8 AM - 6 PM CDT
Rockcastle Shooting Center
585 Park Mammoth Rd
Park City, Kentucky 42160
https://www.facebook.com/events/555941334757913/

So if February or March 2018 was not enough time for you to prepare, now you have an attainable goal to shoot for; you have 11 months to train. Get going!
Sorry for those not on Facebook, but there are no websites for these events. Unfortunately, Facebook is where it's at. Once registration opens, it will be listed on Practiscore.

You don't have to be an Olympic athlete to do this! Not many people will be able to run 100% of the entire distance(s). I'm a grandpa and I have done three of these events in 2017, and I know I will be hiking parts and jogging parts. Just a word of encouragement for those who don't think they are in good enough shape!

Revere's Riders, a 501c3 non-profit (https://www.reveresriders.org/) is partnering with the Feb 3, 2018 Heartbreak Run & Gun in two ways. First, Revere's Riders will be providing a brick (500 rounds) of free .22 LR ammo for all youth (under 18) who register for and run in either the 5K or 10K. They must shoot a 22 rimfire and use the provided ammo. If they complete the race, they get to keep any remaining ammo they did not shoot during the race. Second, Revere's Riders will be awarding the coveted XI Virginia Regiment Morgan's Rifle Corps patch and certificate to all shooters who pass "Morgan's Test", which is at Stage 1 and involves a using a centerfire rifle to make a single, cold bore, unsupported shot on a 6" steel target at 250 yards.
