Wildman Biathlon

Johan Gibcus heads to the finish lien atop Wildcat to win the 29th annual Wildman Biathlon on Saturday.

SHELBURNE — Johan Gibcus used the fastest biking leg of the day to reel in four competitors ahead of him to win the 29th annual Wildman Biathlon on Saturday morning. The acclaimed cyclists topped a field of 53 athletes, who ran, biked and ran some more in what has routinely been billed as of the toughest multi-sport events in New England.

Gibcus, 39, of Worcester, Mass., won the race in two hours, 24 minutes and 57 seconds. He finished nearly nine minutes ahead of his closest challenger.
