Tetrathlon
A Tetrathlon comprises of 4 disciplines and is usually run over two days, it was originally set up for boys but is now open to all members. The 4 disciplines are Running, Riding, Shooting and Swimming. The scoring system is set up so that you get points for each discipline and the person with the most points wins. During the winter Triathlons are run, which is Running, Shooting and Swimming. It is not necessary to be good at all of the disciplines, it is a competition where you can come along and have a go.
