2026 We Are Young Biathlon
For the fourth consecutive year, get ready for an action packed day of endurance, focus, and fun in support of We Are Young as we continue creating transformative wish experiences for seniors.
This one of a kind event combines running or walking and archery in an exciting challenge designed for all experience levels. Whether you are looking to compete for the fastest time, challenge yourself in a new way, or simply take part in a meaningful community event, the We Are Young Biathlon promises an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Participants will complete five 1km run or walk loops. After each kilometer, athletes will stop at the archery station to shoot arrows at a target before continuing onto the next loop. Every missed shot results in a one minute start penalty, adding an exciting layer of strategy, focus, and skill to the competition. The athlete who completes all five loops and 20 shots in the shortest amount of time will be crowned the winner.
No previous archery experience is required. Every participant will receive a full archery training lesson prior to the event, along with bow and arrow rentals and support throughout the day.
Registration Includes:
• Archery training lesson
• Bow and arrow rental
• Event participation
• Snacks and a light lunch
• $100 charitable tax receipt
More than just a race, this event helps create meaningful moments for seniors who may be experiencing isolation, loss, declining health, or a sense of being forgotten. Every participant helps support transformative wish experiences that restore confidence, spark joy, strengthen connection, and remind seniors that they are still seen, valued, and deserving of moments that bring excitement and meaning into their lives.
Gather your friends, challenge your coworkers, or come out on your own and be part of a day filled with community, energy, and impact.
We can’t wait to see you there!
