        The Indoor Heptathlon Events

        7 events over two days, in this order.

        Day 1

        Events 1-4
        1. 60m

          Run

          A short, explosive sprint that opens the competition. Reaction and acceleration are everything.

        2. Long Jump

          Jump

          A fast run-up and a take-off from the board into the sand pit. Speed and spring decide the distance.

        3. Shot Put

          Throw

          A 7.26kg shot pushed from the shoulder inside a 2.135m circle. Leg drive and technique matter as much as strength.

        4. High Jump

          Jump

          The bar goes up after each clearance and three failures in a row end the event, closing day one.

        Day 2

        Events 5-7
        1. 60m Hurdles

          Run

          Five hurdles at 1.067m over 60m open day two. There is no time to recover from a mistake.

        2. Pole Vault

          Jump

          A run-up, a flexible pole and a bar several metres high. Often the most technical event of the seven.

        3. 1000m

          Run

          Five laps of a 200m indoor track to finish. Pacing on tired legs decides how many points you keep.

        Times are the slowest that still score the points; distances and heights are the shortest. Scoring 1,000 in every event gives 7,000 points.

        How Indoor Heptathlon Scoring Works

        Official tables

        Points use the World Athletics formulas. Runs: A × (B − T)C; jumps and throws: A × (M − B)C, rounded down to a whole point.

        Points → performance

        Type points and you get the slowest time, or shortest mark, that still scores them. Not every total can be hit exactly, so the calculator tells you what the nearest mark really scores.

        Hand timing

        Hand-timed 60m and 60m hurdles get 0.24s added before scoring. Hand times are entered to a tenth of a second.

        Masters & saving

        Masters marks are converted to an open-age equivalent with the WMA 2023 age factors, then scored on the standard tables. Results save in your browser and can be shared with a link.

        Questions

        Indoor Heptathlon Scoring FAQ

        How are indoor heptathlon points calculated?

        Each of the 7 events is scored on its own using the World Athletics combined events scoring tables, then the points are added together. Runs use the formula A x (B - T)^C, where T is the time in seconds. Jumps and throws use A x (M - B)^C, where M is the height or distance. A, B and C are fixed for each event, and the result is rounded down to a whole point. For example, 7.23s in the 60m scores 802 points.

        How much is 1,000 points worth in each indoor heptathlon event?

        Scoring 1,000 points in every event would give a total of 7,000. The marks needed for 1,000 points are: 60m 6.67s, long jump 7.76m, shot put 18.40m, high jump 2.21m, 60m hurdles 7.92s, pole vault 5.29m, 1000m 2:29.00.

        What is a good indoor heptathlon score?

        As a rough guide: Club and junior athletes, 3,500 to 4,800. Strong club or county level, 4,800 to 5,300. National level, 5,300 to 5,800. International level, 5,900 and above. World indoor medal contenders, around 6,200 and above. Standards vary by country, age and level of competition, so use these as a starting point.

        What are the indoor heptathlon events, and in what order?

        Day 1: 60m, long jump, shot put and high jump. Day 2: 60m hurdles, pole vault and 1000m.

        Are these the same scoring tables used by USATF, UK Athletics and the IAAF?

        Yes. The calculator uses the World Athletics (formerly IAAF) combined events scoring tables. National federations, including USATF and UK Athletics, use the same tables, so your points match an official indoor heptathlon results sheet.

        How do hand timing and masters age grading affect the score?

        Hand-timed 60m and 60m hurdles get 0.24s added before scoring, as the rules require. For masters athletes, each mark is converted to an open-age equivalent with the WMA 2023 age factors, then scored on the standard tables.
