What is the ACFT 2-Mile Run Score Calculator?
This tool estimates your U.S. Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) 2-mile run score. It applies to the United States Army ACFT (FY23+ standards). Enter your sex, age, and finish time and the calculator interpolates a 0–100 point score against the age/sex scoring scale. A score of 60 is the minimum passing standard for each event.
How to use it
Select Male or Female, enter your age in years, then enter your finish time as minutes and seconds (for example 15 minutes and 0 seconds for a 15:00 run). The calculator finds your age bracket, converts your time to total seconds, and returns your estimated points and pass/fail status.
The formula explained
Each age/sex bracket has three time anchors: the time that earns 100 points, the time that earns 60 points (the pass threshold), and the time that earns 0 points. Faster times earn more points. Between anchors, points are linearly interpolated:
If your time is faster than the 100-point anchor you get 100. Between the 100- and 60-point anchors, $$\text{Points} = 100 - \frac{t - t_{100}}{t_{60} - t_{100}} \times 40.$$ Between the 60- and 0-point anchors, $$\text{Points} = 60 - \frac{t - t_{60}}{t_{0} - t_{60}} \times 60.$$
Worked example
A 22-year-old male runs 15:00 = 900 seconds. His bracket (ages 22–26) anchors are 822 s (100 pts), 1026 s (60 pts), and 1266 s (0 pts). Since 900 s is between 822 and 1026: $$\text{Points} = 100 - \frac{900 - 822}{1026 - 822} \times 40 = 100 - \frac{78}{204} \times 40 = 100 - 15.29 = 84.7,$$ which rounds to about 85–86 points.
What Your Run Score Means
The 2-mile run is one of six events in the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). The other five are the 3 Repetition Maximum Deadlift (MDL), Standing Power Throw (SPT), Hand-Release Push-Up (HRP), Sprint-Drag-Carry (SDC), and Plank (PLK). Each event is scored on a scale from 0 to 100 points.
On every individual event you must earn at least 60 points to pass. Scoring 59 or below on any single event — including the run — is a failure of the whole test, even if your other scores are high. In other words, the 60-point threshold is a floor that applies to each event independently; you cannot "average out" a weak event with a strong one.
Because there are six events worth 100 points each, the maximum total ACFT score is 600, and the minimum passing total is 360 (60 on each event). Your 2-mile run score contributes up to 100 of those 600 points. For example, a run worth 75 points adds 75 to whatever you earn on the deadlift, power throw, push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, and plank to make up your total.
Scores between the anchor times are estimated by linear interpolation against the FY23+ scoring scale: the faster the finish time relative to your age and sex bracket, the higher the points, up to the 100-point maximum. Crossing the maximum-time-to-pass anchor drops you below 60 and into a failing score for the event.

FAQ
Is this the official score? It is a close approximation of the published ACFT run scale using linear interpolation. Always confirm with the official scoring chart.
What is a passing score? You need at least 60 points in each ACFT event, including the 2-mile run.
Why do older brackets allow more time? The standards are age-adjusted, so older soldiers have slower required times for the same points.
