Come and give Laser Run a try🏃‍♀️🔫🏃🏻‍♂️
at the Modern Pentathlon Australia National Laser Run Championships which are being held in Bankstown NSW, 10-11 June 2023.

Laser Run is an action packed urban sport that combines Running and Shooting in fast-paced and ...dynamic races. Athletes run laps of either 300m or 600m and shoot a Laser Pistol from a distance of 5 or 10m . Athletes have to hit in the green a target 5 times before they can run.

This event offers a fun Saturday program which will also include an introduction to shooting for athletes coming to give the sport a try. Followed by community BBQ. Sunday is race day and offers the opportunity for inexperienced athletes to race in a "come and try" event which follows the National Championship event.
