Tan belt rough terrain distance?

• A. 0.5 mi
• B. 1 mi
• C. 1.5 mi
• D. 2 mi

Answer: (B)

Endurance and control on uneven ground are being tested. For the tan belt rough terrain portion, the standard distance is about one mile. This length is chosen to challenge cardiovascular fitness, leg strength, and footing while still being achievable at that rank. It lets the trainee show steady pacing, breathing, and movement over varied surfaces without excessive fatigue. Distances shorter than this are typical for lower levels, while longer distances are for higher belts, so the one-mile target fits the tan belt’s progression and provides a fair, scalable benchmark.
