This past weekend, UMFK teamed up with the Fort Kent Outdoor Center to bring the excitement of biathlon indoors! Community members, students, and staff took aim with laser rifles on a fun indoor course, experiencing this unique winter sport that typically combines Nordic skiing and rifle target shooting, making it a challenge of endurance and precision. The Fort Kent Outdoor Center is a world-class venue which has hosted the 2004 and 2011 IBU World Cup events and continues to be powered by incredible volunteers. With challenging trails to attract top athletes and a UMFK scholarship for student biathletes, the center has been a longtime partner of UMFK.

Hey Bengals! 🐅You are probably tired from working so hard all semester, but YOU GOT THIS! 🥳You will soon have a winter break to get refreshed for the spring semester. Registering for your classes will take one more thing off of your plate so you can wrap up your fall semester and get ready for that break. Looks like a 💯win-win!
