The Laser Run Festival

A Celebration of Modern Pentathlon and Community

The Laser-Run Festival, a competition which is an integral part of modern pentathlon, is an initiative led by Florian Gerbe, high-level athlete and vice-world champion in Laser-Run with the French team in China 2024. Double champion of France and holder of many other medals, Florian wanted to create this event to share his love for this magical sport. Organized in collaboration with Les Mousquetaires de Corbas, this event promises not only to showcase athleticism and precision, but also to strengthen community spirit.

Why did I want to create this concept?

The goal was to make as many people as possible aware of my sport, which is so magical in my eyes. I also love biathlon and have always wanted to combine these two sports with the same principle. LaserRun already exists, but I wanted to introduce the sprint, pursuit and mass start formats based on the principle of biathlon. Being brothers more than 30 years ago, I wanted to reconnect with this bond based on the same principle. So, I took the plunge, and why not make it a test for others with the aim of revitalizing high-level sport. LaserRun is not only running and shooting, it is also a modern pentathlon discipline, the most crucial for achieving victory in pursuit mode.

A Unique and Inspiring Discipline

LaserRun combines running and laser shooting, providing a platform where young people and adults can test their endurance and precision under pressure. This event is not just a competition; it is a celebration of perseverance, discipline and surpassing oneself. These values ​​are fundamental not only in sport but in all spheres of life.

Community Strengthening

In addition, the Laser-Run Festival is designed to encourage a healthy competitive spirit while promoting conviviality and sharing between participants and spectators. The event is an opportunity to bring together people from diverse backgrounds, promote social inclusion and strengthen connections within our community. We envision an event where each participant, whether competitor or spectator, leaves with a feeling of belonging and accomplishment.

An Inspiring Event for All

By organizing the Laser-Run Festival 2024 in Corbas, we are not only looking to organize one more sporting event; we want to create an experience that inspires, motivates and connects people. It is with this objective in mind that we ask for your support and commitment to make this event a resounding success. Thank you for considering this opportunity to highlight our city and its talents on the international stage.

I hope you like my project and that many of you will participate and enjoy the festival. Because it's not just sport, it's the sports festival, the modern pentathlon celebration, the celebration of the end of the Olympic Games while hoping for a French medal.

Join us to celebrate this great sporting adventure together!
