Run archery is a shooting discipline connecting archery with running. It is similar to the sport of biathlon.

## History

[edit]

Run archery was developed during the 1990s by European archery associations.[1] Since 2000, some countries in other areas like Russia, Hungary, the Netherlands[2] and Germany[3] have begun organizing annual national championships. Run archery was officially admitted as a discipline of the World Archery Federation in 2003.

## Rules

[edit]

Like in the sport of biathlon, participants start with running, and alternate between running and shooting series of three arrows at a 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards) away. For scoring, it does not matter whether the target is hit in the center or at the edge. For each missed target the athlete must run a penalty loop. The number of laps depend on the sport event. At the end, the fastest athlete wins. The bow must be held in hand during running; arrows can be left at the shooting range or may be carried in a back quiver.

## Sprint - 3x400m

[edit]

Between each lap of 400 metres (440 yd), there are two shooting on 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards), 6 arrows available to hit 4 targets per shooting.

Each missed target results in penalty loop of 60 metres (66 yd).

After the first lap of 400 metres (440 yd), there's a first shooting, the archer is up, he has 6 arrows to hit the 4 targets ; then there's a second lap of 400m, a second shooting, this time the archer is kneeling, he has 6 arrows to hit the 4 targets; finishing the race with the last lap of 400m.

## 4K Individual - 4x1000m

[edit]

Between each lap of 1,000 metres (1,100 yd), there are three shooting on 16-centimetre-wide (6.3 in) target from 18 m (20 yards), 4 arrows available to hit 4 targets per shooting.

Each missed target results in penalty loop of 150 metres (160 yd).

After the first lap of 1,000 metres (1,100 yd), there's a first shooting, the archer is up, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets ; then there's a second lap of 1,000m, a second shooting, this time the archer is kneeling, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets; then again a third lap of 1,000m, a third shooting, the archer is back up, he has 4 arrows to hit the 4 targets; finishing the race with the last lap of 1,000m.
