Billet an athlete

    Athlete billet programs place young, competitive, international athletes in the home of local family during the duration of their competitive event.

    We are seeking local families who can provide a safe and welcoming environment for the international youth who are travelling to Crowsnest Pass to partake in either the Minotaur VK on June 26, 2026 or the Mini-Taur 10 km on June 28, 2026.

    Hosting an athlete is  rewarding experience and can lead to life long friendships. If you are interested in being a billet or would like to learn more, please contact us.
