Modern biathlon (run and swim),
Modern triathlon (run, swim and shoot),
Modern tetrathlon (run, swim, shoot and fence) or
Modern pentathlon (run, swim, shoot, fence and ride).

Each of these have a regional qualifier, leading to a national championship

Pentathlon comprises the five sports of running, swimming, pistol shooting, fencing (epeé and horse riding (show jumping). For a description of each discipline, click on 'Pentathlon Info' at the top of the page. All the events have variations depending on the age of the competitors. In addition club competitions may include 'local' rules for ease of administration. The basis of competition is that competition times and scores are converted to points, based on published tables. Placings are established from aggregate points for all the disciplines.
