May 30 Bellarine Equathon entry form now available.

The Bellarine Equathon will be held at Lake Lorne Reserve, Drysdale on Sunday 30th May 2010

The entry form is now available.

The Equathon is a three event competition consisting of:

  • Swimming
  • Show Jumping
  • Cross-Country Running.

First, the competitor swims the designated distance of the age group or section, receiving a time. The competitor then completes a round of show jumping, the time is then added to the swimming time.

The order of running in the last section of the event is according to the time placing after the first two phases, the leader starting first. This means it is a chase run, with the position over the line in the run being the final placing. The Equathon event has been devised as a development sport for the Modern Pentathlon, which includes these three sports plus 10m Air Pistol Shooting and Epee (fencing).
