The Laser Run World Championships will be held in Trinity College Dublin in September 28th-30th, 2018 and will see over 450 competitors, from over 20 countries, compete in this exciting event.
Participants will start with a short sprint to the shooting range. From there, using a laser pistol, they shoot their designated target until they register 5 successful hits, or for 50 seconds, whichever comes first.
