Red River Nordic is a Winnipeg cross country ski and biathlon club with a focus on developing young skiers and biathletes. We run programs ranging from Jackrabbits, for the youngest, right up to competitive adults. Participants ski at least once a week during the winter. Most ski activities take place at Windsor Park Nordic Centre in Winnipeg. We also use an indoor rifle range (Gateway Gun Club) and the biathlon course at Falcon Lake, Manitoba.
