Red Deer’s newly upgraded Riverbend Golf and Recreation Area is testing out its new enhancements by hosting a pair of events this weekend.

On both Saturday and Sunday, the facility will be the site of the Biathlon NorAm / Calforex Cup # 5 and the Western Championships.

Races take place at 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. both days, with Paralympians competing this weekend as well.

Admission is free.
