Rallies

We aim to offer a variety of rallies for all levels from September 2025. The types to be offered:

• Introduction to Tetrathlon rallies – a great place to find out more and dip your toe in. Suitable for all and no experience is necessary at all.
• Leading to shoot and running training.
• Swimming training – will be investigated.
• Cross-country riding training – will be combined with eventing training.

All upcoming dates and details for rallies will be published on Entrymaster and found on the Calendar page.

 

Competitions (open to all)

Tetrathlon within Area 5 is very active and within the area branches or the Area 5 Tetrathlon Committee will host competitions.

A great starting point is a triathlon (shoot, swim, run).  When the 2025/2026 Autumn/Winter schedule is known we will publish the dates.
