Within our qualifying window, our associated Hubs, clubs, and schools can host qualifying events whereby athletes can record a points tally (the points are accumulated from the swim time and the run time and then added together). All athletes across the country then have their points added to a National Rankings List for each age group and sex and the top percentage for each then get invited to our National Finals. Athletes can attend multiple events through the qualifying window to try and improve their points tally.

Pentathlon GB has an affiliate membership which provides clubs with some member benefits. This membership allows clubs and schools to run events covered by PGB insurance, gain discounted kit and equipment through our provider partnerships, and qualify for team prizes at our National events.
This is our participation brand for any club, school or individual who would like to try their hand at Pentathlon. You might see our Pentathlon GB brand at our 'have a go sessions' in your community.
