Para-Pentathlon is a developing program within USA Pentathlon Multisport. The goal is to make Modern Pentathlon (and sub-sports) accessible to all, regardless disability. Para-athletes are currently able to take part in Laser Run (shooting, running), Biathle (swimming & running), and Triathle (shooting, swimming, running). Tetrathlon (fencing, swimming, shooting, running) is an event that will be offered in the near future.
The International Federation (UIPM) has the ability to classify para-athletes in order to compete at international competitions. 2021 is the first year that World Championships will include para events. Laser Run World Championships are scheduled for June and Biathle/Triathle World Championships are scheduled for August. Check the events page for information regarding the World Championships and for any other scheduled competitions.
