The biathlon is a race that combines an 6.6 mile Canoe Race and a 7 mile run. Racers start at Morgans Canoe in Brookville. Racers continue along the Whitewater River until the end of the canoe segment at Morgan's Canoe Rental in Cedar Grove. After docking the canoes the foot race begins. Leaving Morgan's the racers continue south on S.R. 1 to River Road. Traveling north along River Road, there will be drink stations along with some beautiful countryside. The finish line is located Morgans Canoe in Brookvile, ending up to be 13.6 miles in total length.
Biathletes compete for the biathlon Cup. Winners have their names engraved the Cup, and will get to hold it for one year. The Cup was generously donated by Franklin County's premier racing family, the Leffingwells.
Awards will available to winners as soon as results are confirmed, with the exception of the grand prize Biathlon Cup. Those wishing to receive their award early in the afternoon may do so.
There will be an official awards ceremony for those who wish to receive
their awards on stage, the presentation of the Biathlon Cup, and to those who wish to
receive wild raucous applause from the Canoefest crowd. The awards ceremony is presided
over by the Canoe Princess and her Court. Those winners who are not in attendance will
still have their name(s) announced at the Awards Ceremony
