Are you interested in trying a new form of archery? Archery GB clubs have a number of Run Archery competitions set to take place around the UK in 2024.
Following two pilot events at Newark Castle Archers and Redhill Archers in Birmingham, we are looking forward to even more events this summer.
Arran Coggan, Archery GB’s Director of Sport Development, said: "Run Archery provides an alternative discipline that may help with retention and recruitment of archers and, in the future, runners.
"It's a great way to challenge yourself and raise your heartrate even before you set foot on the shooting line!"
Run Archery is a shooting discipline connecting archery with running. It is similar to the sport of biathlon.
Shooting takes place over 18m, with archers carrying the bow either in the hands or in a harness. There are no compound bows.
The events organised for this year are:
