The center welcomed athletes and spectators for the Modern Pentathlon Test Competition, serving as a crucial comprehensive rehearsal for the 15th National Games.

It features two categories: traditional modern pentathlon and new modern pentathlon. The traditional format includes horse-riding, fencing, swimming, running, and shooting, while the new format replaces the horse-riding with an obstacle course.
