// How It Works
01
Check in during the posted window. Gear check, safety brief, shooters meeting. Time on the range increases with daylight lost.
02
Individual 5-minute releases send you into the 5K course — Oklahoma fields, woods, and creek beds. No other competitors in sight. Clock running.
03
Four live-fire stages on the course. Engage targets, time stops, back on the run. Final score = course time + four stage times. Lowest wins.
// Why This Event
01
The original nighttime run-and-gun biathlon, running continuously since 2018.
02
NV 2Gun and NV PCC on Friday night with full white-light prohibition. A format few other events offer.
03
Individual 5-minute releases for a clean, uncontested course and shorter wait times.
04
Two-lap odd/even stage rotation: even competitors run even stages first, odds run odd first.
05
Oklahoma fields, woods, and creek beds. Tests navigation and light discipline, not just shooting fitness.
06
Every competitor gets a Twilight Biathlon t-shirt. Top 3 in each division receive awards at the Saturday night ceremony.
