Pentathletes finish the competition with a run-shoot event referred to as Laser Run. Athletes complete a series of run-shoot combinations, where the distance is determined according to their category, finishing with a final run to the finish.

 

 

Rules

  • Points are awarded by time.
  • The total points after the first three events in the competition determines the start order.
  • The athlete with the most points starts first, with the remaining athletes starting in a staggered order determined by one-second intervals for every four-point difference.
  • The first athlete to finish the shoot/run wins the overall pentathlon competition.
  • Athletes must register 5 laser shots in the center bullseye within 50 seconds or time out. If an athlete registers 5 laser shots in the bullseye under 50 seconds, they may immediately proceed to the next lap.
