How many miles do the marine corps have to run max? and min. miles?

Question

I would like to know how many miles do the marines runs as max, and how many minutes it takes.Thanks!

Answer 1

your required to run 3miles in 28mins. but also remember they also hike so u know. maybe more like 5miles

Answer 2

If you mean a maximum in the entire time they are in, I would say it depends on the unit, and more specifically who is leading the run.  I had a 1stSgt(now SgtMaj) who spent 14 years as a Force Recon Marine, and he would lead us on long runs through sand hills because he could do it, and because it was really good training...although I didnt think so at the time...And then other times when it was one of my buddies leading the run, we would just go for a couple of miles, at a brisk, but sustainable pace.

If you are wondering about the PFT (Physical Fitness Test) the Course is 3 miles long, usually 1.5 miles with a turn around at the half way mark.  The best you can score on a PFT for the run portion is 100 Points for 18:00 minutes or better.  The worst passing score is 28:00 for the 3 Miles.  These times are for marines younger than 27, at that age, the scores change, although Im not sure to what off the top of my head.  Hope this helped.

Answer 3

it depends on how far and how fast the people chasing you, whom there are more of and are better armed than you  can run.
