First you will warm up with a run and walk in a squad (as a group) for 6 minutes over a distance of 8 hundred metres. This is then followed immediately by a timed 'best effort' (individual) run over a measured distance of 2.4 km (1 1/2 miles). The course will be on level ground and on a good running surface.

The required time will depend on what job you have applied for.
