In the Men's Relay, a pack of six entered the range with a 50m lead over the main group. Dan Campbell of Hastings, MN was among those in the lead pack along with U.S. National Team Member Dave Gieck of Jackson Hole, WY leading the Minnesota Mix Team and the U.S. National Guard Team. Campbell would leave the range second behind Team Alberta, but would have two penalty loops to ski before heading back on to the trail in 6th place, one minute out of the lead. The pack had dwindled down to four as they entered the range for their standing shooting; Campbell along with Minnesota Mix, U.S. National Guard and Team Alberta were among those in the lead pack. Having to use only one extra round to clean his target Campbell would ski his last loop in 3rd and hold on to this position as he tagged off to Andy Erickson of Minnetonka. Erickson would give up 3rd place and drop to 4th after prone because of one penalty loop, but with superior shooting in standing he would close the 6 second gap on the U.S. National Guard Team and add a 5 second cushion as he tagged off to teammate Ryan Cameron of Minneapolis.

Skiing second leg for Minnesota Mix was Ben Kremer of Elk River. Kremer would get the tag in first place with a 20 second lead over Team Alberta, Team Alberta member Gerhardt Klann would cut that lead down to 15 seconds entering the prone shooting. Kremer and Klann would duke it out over the next 2.5km, with Klann arriving in the range just a few seconds ahead of Kremer. Shooting nearly shot for shot, Klann would leave with a 5 second lead over Kremer. This would not be how they would tag, however. Entering the stadium before the tag, Kremer would emerge first with a 7 second lead over Klann. Brett Piper of Lakeville, MN would head out and try to preserve the lead with the strongest athletes from the next three teams chasing him down.

With Dan Westover of U.S. National Guard only a few seconds behind Cameron entering the range and Team Alberta and Minnesota Mix in the range at the same time as well, it was bound to be a shooters battle, who could hit all five targets the quickest. Robin Clegg of Alberta would emerge the victor in this shooting bout with Westover second, Piper third and Cameron fourth, all within 30 seconds of each other. The final shooting would be the determining factor in deciding who would become the 2001 North American Championship Team. Clegg would enter the range for the final time ahead with a small cushion and the next three team arriving together in a pack. Clegg would shoot clean with only one extra round and looking back over his shoulder pumped his fist in the air knowing the victory was his. Cameron would have a bullet jam his rifle delaying him 25 seconds, which was enough to lose contact with Westover who shot clean without any extra rounds. U.S. National Guard would finish 2nd, Minnesota Biathlon 3rd and Minnesota Mix 4th.

In the Women's Relay, Jaime Mueller of Brainerd would lead off for a mix team with Jill Troutner of Minneapolis and Haley Johnson of Lake Placid, NY. Mueller would struggle with the wind in prone, which would result in one penalty loop leaving her in 4th place behind three Canadian Teams. Chasing down the team ahead Mueller would close the gap with some fast skiing and good shooting, having to use only one extra round to clean her standing stage. Jill Troutner would get the tag in 4th place just out of 3rd. Troutner would slowly close the gap during her race to bring the team into 2nd place as her tagged of to Haley Johnson. Johnson would clean her prone in 36 seconds to edge closer to the 1st place Alberta Team. In the final shooting just as Johnson entered the range, Team Alberta's Amy Ford was on her way out after shooting clean and sealing the victory. Johnson would use all three extra rounds to clean, but would hang on to 2nd place.
