What is Laser Run?
Simply, Laser Run combines shooting and running in a continuous format. Depending on the age group, athletes run a lap or run into the shooting range where they are required to hit 5 bullseyes, on an electronic target, or 50 seconds elapses as they try. Then run, shoot, repeat (depending on age) and finish with a run lap.
Why try Laser Run?
Laser Run is a fun sport of strategy and skill to run fast then compose yourself to shoot. It also is a great test of aerobic and anaerobic fitness and add some variety to your running training.
Within the Laser Run the shooting takes place with a completely safe and environmentally friendly laser pistol, fired at a target from 10m or 5m, depending on age.
Laser Run is the final phase of a Modern Pentathlon (MP) competition and as an individual competition, it is one of the pathway sports of MP and keenly contested across the world.
What is Triathle?
Triathle adds the swimming in a continuous format with the Laser Run, shoot-swim-run. Triathle is a great competition for athletes transitioning from other sports and adds a change from the ‘Swim Race’ of Modern Pentathlon. Can also be run as a non-continuous event though often run in open water - beach and lakes.
We are looking forward to catching up with all our Pentathlon families from across the state and welcome all those new to this sport and of course our interstate athletes who regularly support our events.
