How should we handle an invalidated APFT? Is there a current Army regulation covers this?

A record APFT I was participating in was rendered invalid upon completing the 2 mile run due to the distance being a little over 2.5 miles. The mistake was due to the one mile marker personnel not being present, and runners past the point of return. However the scores for the runners would have been valid had they only run 2 miles, only being 2 - 3 minutes off. How would one go about this mistake? Is the test null and void or the times divided to represent accurately a 2 mile time? Is this an automatic pass due to negligence of the test coordinators? Is there any current army regulation that would cover this?

If the PT track was longer than the regulation 2 miles the APFT is null, no questions asked. There is no such thing as time adjustment. Here is the thing: can it be proved? It has happened before so it should be an issue. Many years ago, something similar happened at Ft. Lee, VA. The CG at the time asked the IG to walk and measure an official post track; the IG himself! Problem solved!

Unfortunately there's not much you can do about it. The APFT is not valid because the standards were not met by the personnel administering the test. The silver lining here is that it isn't your fault so other than having to retake it, it shouldn't have any adverse impact on yourself or fellow soldiers.
