ABOUT US
Oxford University Modern Pentathlon Association offers one of the university's most challenging and unusual interdisciplinary sports opportunities. We cater to those of all skill levels, from complete beginners to those seeking challenging high-level competition.
Modern pentathlon as a sport consists of five disciplines designed to test the complete athlete which are spread between four events:
Swimming (200m)
Épée Fencing
Showjumping
Running (4x800m)
Pistol Shooting
​
For the social athlete, OUMPA also offers regular social events with meals, crew dates and nights out being offered throughout term time. The opportunity for a trip to G&Ds after Tuesday night training is often the highlight of the week and at competitions the team is infamous for its ability to perform in the notorious 6th and 7th events.
