This is how it works;
If you have done a biathlon before, the swim and run distances changed in 2013 but is the same as our event held in Oct 2013. Swim first, timed swim with distance depending on age (see table). About an hour after you swim you then run with distance depending on age (see table). The faster you swim and run, the more points you get with your times being converted into swim points and run points. The points are added together and the person with the most points wins.
Team competition;
You can decide before the event who is on your team or, if there are 3 competitors from the same age group and gender from the same school, we will make up the team.
This is a local event with a wide range of abilities welcome. In the past we have had some experienced swimmers and runners competing but we have had many first timers and inexperienced competitors, all who leave feeling they have achieved something by completing the event.
Entries can be made via post only. The entry fee is £5. Athletes will automatically become 'First Steps' members of Pentathlon GB. Entries will be restricted to 120.
Registration Opens 08.45, swim starts 09.30, run starts 11.00. More precise times issued 4 days before the event on www.scottishsaltirespentathlon.com.
