Laser Run 

Laser Run is the exhilarating finale to the Olympic sport of Modern Pentathlon with athletes required to alternate between shooting a laser pistol and running in a fast-paced and action-packed race to the finish line. This last phase of the Olympic Sport of Modern Pentathlon has now been adapted to form a stand-alone Laser Run competition suitable for all levels/abilities of competitors.  This year the British Laser Run Championships will be held in Edinburgh on 21st June 2020 and will be a qualifying event for the European Championships and a qualifying event for the School Games Final. For more information see the Pentathlon GB website.

Laser Run explained:

1. Athletes start together with a short run into the shooting range and their allocated shooting bay.

2. Using a laser pistol, athletes shoot at their designated target as many times as it takes to register 5

successful hits. Each successful hit is represented by a green light.

3. After 5 successful hits or 50 seconds (whichever comes first), runners can leave the range and begin

their first run before returning to the same range, bay and pistol for their next shoot.

4. After their final shoot, competitors complete their last running loop before crossing the finish line.
