Competition Field of Play

Whistler Olympic Park/Whistler Paralympic Park will be used for all the 2010 Olympic Winter Games events in cross-country skiing, Nordic combined and biathlon, and for all the 2010 Paralympic Nordic events. All the events for cross-country skiing, Nordic combined (the cross-country skiing portion) and the Paralympic Nordic (cross-country skiing and biathlon) will start from the cross-country stadium, while the Olympic biathlon events will start at the separate biathlon stadium. The approximate 1 x 2 kilometre area at the venue will consist of two separate 5 kilometre cross-country skiing competition courses, a 4 kilometre biathlon competition course and a 3.75 kilometre Paralympic sit-ski competition course. In addition, there will be warm-up trails and several cutover trails for the shorter competition distances (2, 2.5, 3, 3.3 and 3.75 km). Whistler Olympic Park will also include an additional 20 to 25 kilometres of Olympic training trails and recreational trails.

The distance from Whistler Olympic Park to the Olympic and Paralympic Village Whistler is approximately 14 kilometres.
