At each shooting range athletes need to hit the target five times before beginning the next lap. The total number of hits is 20 and total running distance is 3,200m. Triathle events are staged at both international and national level, with the highest echelon being the UIPM World Tour and UIPM World Championships, and there are two formats: UIPM Beach Triathle and UIPM Street Triathle. Ath- letes ranging from under 11 to over 60 participate in this innovative event which is carried out over a series of laps, the number determined by the age group. The youngest athletes face an aggregate swim of 50m, a total run of 400m and 10 shots from a distance of three metres, while the seniors (aged 22 and over) swim a total of 200m, run 3.2km and are required to make 20 shots from 10m.
