Laser-run is a competition that involves cross country running and laser pistol shooting in multiple sequences.
Laser-run competitions are held under rules of the Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM).
[2] The sequence of a laser-run is as follows: The number of repetitions and the distances depend on the age group of the competitors.
From 2015 to 2021 the running distances were 200 m, 400 m and 800 m.[3] The laser-run uses laser pistols and targets that have to be homologated by the UIPM.
Laser pistols are usually also provided by the organizers at regional competitions to enable an easier entry into the sport.
