What is one of the alternate events for the 2-mile run?

The correct alternate event for the 2-mile run is the 5,000m row. This option was designed to provide an effective cardiovascular alternative for Soldiers who may be unable to complete the run due to injury or other physical limitations. The rowing machine mimics the cardiovascular demands of running over a comparable distance, ensuring that the physical fitness evaluation remains valid and relevant to the individual’s endurance capacity.

Additionally, the 5,000m row is a full-body workout that engages multiple muscle groups, contributing to overall fitness while focusing on endurance, similar to the objectives of the 2-mile run. This ensures that when Soldiers complete the alternate event, they still demonstrate a similar level of fitness that would be expected from running the 2 miles. This alternative event maintains the integrity of the ACFT while accommodating the varied physical capabilities of Soldiers.
