The Air Force has directed a service-wide recertification of all installation 1.5-mile run and 2-kilometer walk courses by Oct. 31. The recertification requirement comes after the identification of course-length issues by local officials at Goodfellow and Hanscom Air Force Bases. A review of fitness scores at Hanscom AFB indicated 41 Airmen potentially failed the fitness assessment who would have otherwise passed. All affected Airmen are being notified and provided avenues for remedy. Any other facilities identified during the recertification will follow similar Airmen notification and remedy processes through local command channels. Air Force members with questions are encouraged to contact their local force support squadron offices.
