Not sure which sport to choose? Then try the modern pentathlon, which offers five sports in one, including riding, swimming, shooting, fencing and running! The region and its clubs welcome you to learn how.

If you're not sure which sports to try out this year, we'd like to suggest a discipline that combines five of them, for a complete and varied sporting experience. What is the pentathlon, the modern version of which comes from Pierre de Coubertin? In the past, it was all about running, jumping, wrestling and throwing, but today it includes swimming, fencing, horse jumping, pistol shooting and running. So many radically different sports, each one offering exceptional sensations!

To train athletes for the Olympic Games, you need a lot of clubs, and luckily, there are several in the Paris region. So you can try your hand at pentathlon close to home, and even in the capital, especially if you're particularly fond of one of the five sports and might enjoy practicing pentathlon. It's also possible to start by splitting up, with laser run alone (shooting and running), then adding swimming, then epee and finally horse riding.
