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?

Is it just me or is this ridiculous? You simply redo the run part of the PT test to the correct distance. We did a PT test on our own 5-6 days a week, it’s not that big a chore. Takes 30 minutes or less from pull-ups, sit ups, 3 mike run.

What’s the big deal just do it again. It was never that tough to begin with and we basically did a pft about every day anyway, or at least 6 days a week, I took Sundays off. Running 3 miles, a few pull-ups and sit-ups isnt really a stretch. Funny this pft stuff keeps popping up, just do it and be done with it.

To be honest I haven't seen anything in regulation that covers the validity of APFT due to incorrect markings or people not being posted in key positions on the run. If I was the commander, I would have taken 2 to 3 minutes off the run instead of making the whole APFT invalid......

Nope, not an automatic pass. Those who took the invalid test, just did some intense PT. End of story.
It will be stricken from any record and at some future point the test will be readministered and I guarantee that this time there will be proper personnel in place. You can bet someone was locked up and standing tall in front of not just Top but the Commander.
