The Twilight Biathlon is a timed 5K run-and-shoot competition held at night on unlit terrain at The Burial Mound Shooting Center in Pawnee, Oklahoma. Competitors run a two-lap course through Oklahoma fields and woods, engaging four live-fire shooting stages along the route. Four divisions cover the field: 2Gun and PCC run Saturday night on white light, while NV 2Gun and NV PCC run Friday night on night vision only with no white light permitted. Scoring is time-based — your final score is the combined total of your four shooting stage times plus your course run time, with the lowest score winning.
