Pentathletes finish the competition with a run-shoot event referred to as Laser Run. Athletes complete a series of run-shoot combinations, where the distance is determined according to their category, finishing with a final run to the finish.
Total points after the first three events in the competition determines the start order.
The athlete with the most points starts first, with the remaining athletes starting in a staggered order determined by one second intervals for every four point difference.
The first athlete to finish the shoot/run wins the overall pentathlon competition.
Athletes must register 5 laser shots in the centre bullseye within 50 seconds or time out. If an athlete registers 5 laser shots in the bullseye under 50 seconds, they may immediately proceed to the next lap.
