Modern Biathlon & Pentathlon

This is for the students who want to mix things up a bit. Why compete in one sport when you can compete in multiple? Join our Modern Biathlon and Pentathlon programme.

Event Programme:

The modern pentathlon is a sport that comprises five different events; fencing (one-touch épée), freestyle swimming, obstacle course racing (OCR) and a final combined event of pistol shooting and cross country running. This last event is now referred to as the laser-run, since it alternates four legs of laser pistol shooting followed by an 800 m run. 

If the modern pentathlon is too many events, then the biathlon is for you, with a combined run and a swim.

2024-25 Season

More information on dates and venues will be published on our events page in due course - BUCS Events.
