​AVSC Biathlon 2023

The AVSC Biathlon returned on Sunday 15 October 2023, 4 years after the last event in 2019. This year saw a change of venue to Radley College for the swimming and running. We were very fortunate to have fair weather and bright sunshine for the running event, albeit a little colder than the unusually warm start to October!

We welcomed 131 athletes to the event including one (very quick) teacher who gave the younger competitors in his heat a good target to beat. Local schools were well represented but others travelled a little further, with competitors coming from Bath, London, Bedford, Chelmsford, Colchester, Boston and even Liverpool!

The biathlon was held in a great competitive spirit with the fine weather inspiring some impressive running, urged on by a fantastic crowd. The results can be found here and photos from the event here. Many congratulations to all the competitors for taking part and good luck to all that qualify for the British Schools’ Modern Biathlon Championships that will be held at the University of Bath, 23-24 March 2024. Further information about the Championships can be found here.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers that made the event possible, including the timekeepers, officials, announcers, sign in desk, refreshments stall, second hand stall, raffle, marshals, data entry and all the others that helped on the day or behind the scenes. We'd also like to thank Radley College for use of the facilities, Pentathlon GB for support in hosting the event and the various sponsors and donors for all the raffle prizes. The final, and biggest, thanks goes to Alison Allen who led the AVSC organising team so ably and ensured a very smooth event - not an easy task after a 4 year break!  

 We hope you enjoyed the AVSC Biathlon 2023 and look forward to welcoming you back in 2024! ​
