Answering my own question here :
<<Snowshoe Biathlon
RULES: This competition will be conducted under the rules of the International Biathlon Union (IBU), as modified by Biathlon Canada and the Arctic Winter Games International Committee>>
And I see the University of Utah 2004 Winterfest involves a four-legged two-shoe snowshoe race. Now there\'s détente for you!
Had to share...
