FM 21-20 page 14.9 clearly states what the 2 mile site should be.
FM 21-20Test Site The test site should be fairly flat and
free of debris. It should have the following:
An area for stretching and warming
up.
A soft, flat, dry area for performing
push-ups and sit-ups.
A flat, 2-mile running course with
a solid surface and no more than a
three-percent grade. (Commanders
must use good judgement; no one is
expected to survey terrain.)
No significant hazards, (for example,
traffic, slippery road surfaces,
heavy pollution).
When necessary or expedient, a
quarter-mile running track can “be
used. It can be marked with a series of
stakes along the inside edge. When the
track is laid out, a horizontal midline
279 feet, 9 3/4 inches long must be
marked in the center of a clear area. A
120-foot circle is marked at both ends
of this line. The track is formed when
the outermost points of the two circles
are connected with tangent lines.
A 400-meter track may be used in
place of the standard quarter-mile
(440-yard) track for the 2-mile run,
However, one lap run on a 400-meter
track is 92 inches shorter than one lap
on a 440-yard track. Eight laps on a
400-meter track is 736 inches shorter
than eight laps (2 miles) on a 440-yard
track. Therefore, soldiers who run the
2-mile event on a 400-meter track
must run eight laps plus an additional
61 feet, 4 inches.
