Slowest finish time that still earns at least each score, from the exact 10-second-band scoring table.
The run is worth 50 points — as much as push-ups and sit-ups combined. One minute off your 2.4km time is usually worth more points than ten extra reps on either static station, which is why most servicemen should train the run first. Note how sharply points fall at slower times for younger groups: an under-22 at 16:00 scores only 1 point.
Divide your target time by 2.4 for your per-kilometre pace. A 12:00 run needs an even 5:00/km; a 10:00 run needs 4:10/km. Run the first lap controlled — blowing up in lap 4 costs more than a fast start gains.
8:30 or faster earns the maximum 50 points for under-22s, and older groups keep full points at slower times — the oldest group still scores 50 at 10:50.
It depends on age: 30 points for under-22s and 34 points at age 28–30, from the exact scoring table.
