Rascally Ranger Fit Test

The Ranger Fit Test is a F3 staple and great way, perfect for OCR season and a great way to benchmark for future goals.

Event / Ranger Goal*
Push-ups – 49
Sit-ups – 59
Pull-Ups – 6
5 mile run – 40 minutes

*The goal is just to get in the door of Ranger School. Once you’re admitted, it becomes exceeding more difficult including three more phases – Fort Benning, Mountain phase and Florida (swamp) phase. Soldiers need to lead while navigating, with little sleep and food. Our little test is just a tiny fraction of the physical and mental strength required.

I’m thankful for the great weather and good turnout. Thanks to site Q Tuck for helping me with setting the 5 mile course. It was a perfect one mile loop, no traffic and slight uphill and downhill section. Tuck also put up big numbers on the sit-up and push-up tests. Soft Pretzel crushed the 5 miles running sub 7 minutes miles. It was also great seeing General, the pull-up king, Icicle and Early Bird. Unfair was on his best behavior, but he may still have been hung over. YHC did not complete the 5 milies in less than 40 minutes, but I did manage to shave more than 9 minutes of my time from the first time I took the test nearly a year and a half ago. F3 works!
