Biathlon: Summer Tour 2024 d’Arçon, ask for the programme
At the end of the week, the second leg of the Summer Tour 2024 biathlon will take place in Arçon (Doubs). Organised in the Haut-Doubs village for a number of years, this latest ski-wheeled event will be led by the ES Saugette, run by the charismatic Joël Pourchet.
The competitions will be accompanied by a number of high stakes events: the national senior sprint and pursuit titles will be awarded, the French U17, U19 and U22 summer champions will be crowned and this will be the opportunity to see the French stars in action one last time in official competition before the start of hostilities on snow.
Throughout the weekend, the organising club is hoping for around 8,000 people to visit the Florence-Baverel stadium, where some twenty partner stands, including that of Nordic Magazine, will be open to the public.
