This is a team and individual competition comprising four phases – shooting, swimming, riding and running.  In the winter the riding is dropped and the event becomes a Triathlon.

Tetrathlon – Ride, run, shoot and swim

We are looking for keen runners and swimmers to join our Tetrathlon teams.  The under 12’s have to run 1000m, swim for 2 minutes, shoot an air pistol at a target 7m away and ride over a 2’6’’ cross-country course (the jumps are often a lot lower).  The older competitors have to run a little further, swim longer, shoot at 10m and jump a little higher. In the winter months they do not do the riding phase.  Come and have a go at our training day, or if you are unable to attend that, come to one of our shooting practices. 

More information from Clare Smallman.
