The Slovak Cup in summer laser biathlon begins with a race in Čutkovská dolina near Ružomberok. This running-and-shooting competition uses laser rifles, differing from live-fire biathlon equipment, which allows easier participation for those new to the sport. The event is organized by Športový klub bežeckého lyžovania a biatlonu Ružomberok, the local cross-country skiing and biathlon club.
The organizers welcome both competitors and the public. Every racer receives a loaned laser rifle, eliminating the need for personal shooting equipment. The day's schedule includes registration and check-in, followed by rifle zeroing before the race commences. Results are announced after the final finisher, establishing a focused race-day schedule rather than an extended festival.
