How to Set Up ACFT Lanes
To set up ACFT lanes, start by arranging separate lanes for each of the six events: 3-rep max deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, sprint-drag-carry, plank (or leg tuck), and the 2-mile run. Each lane should have clearly marked boundaries, the necessary equipment, and a certified grader to monitor performance and ensure safety. For the sprint-drag-carry, mark a 25-meter lane with cones at each end. For the deadlift and power throw, position the weight racks and measuring tools in an organized manner. Core events like plank or leg tuck need flat, stable surfaces with enough space between participants. Assign an OIC/NCOIC to supervise all lanes and ensure smooth transitions between events. Proper lane setup ensures fairness, accuracy, and compliance with Army standards, and using an ACFT calculator helps track scores efficiently.
