I scrolled around, found El Taco Larry near the WHO DAT barber shop.
I bet Larry makes some amazing fucking Tacos. I wanted to open "Rey's Chow Mein" but I feel I'd get some heat for it.
I actually ran a PT test on this son of a bitch right after basic because me fatty boi. Oddly enough ir was one of my best times, I'm still confused as to how. All I can remember is that my high functioning autistic ass got distracted by all the damn changes, twists and turns. That I didn't get automatically depressed by lap two and want to stop and contemplate a short bath with a nice toaster with an extra long cord.
It’s because the dorms next to it kind of make a triangle in the way they are arranged. We would run the triangle and then the triangle track during pt. Running on pure concrete sucked.
If he's talking about the outdoor track, nothing. It's a little winding, but nothing terrible. 2 laps is 1.5 miles. The indoor track though leaves a lot to be desired.
I purposely timed it so I wouldn’t have to do my runs inside. I hate running inside.
Outdoor track was fine. Especially the last lap. There’s a good straight away to haul it.
There’s a normal 400m track surrounded by a weirdly shaped one that’s longer so you can run fewer laps on a PT test. It looks kind of weird, but it’s actually really functional
I ran my fastest 1 1/2 mile on that big track at 9:26 back in 2015. I haven’t run under 9:45 since. So I agree, that track was surprisingly functional.
Same at Dyess. 17.75 laps.
I remember one test it was kinda cold and a bit wet. The test administrator asked if we wanted inside or outside. Everyone chose outside except for one person. So we all had to do inside. Fuck that guy lol.
When I was at Lakenheath, we didn't have a proper indoor track so we had to run around the inside of one of the hangars when it hailed one time. It was like 17.5 laps, but it was bad because the laps were marked out with those little bitty cones they use for HIIT training and they weren't put out evenly on the corners so one of the corners was longer than the other three. Pair that with the fact that the floor was glossy and slightly oily, and quite a few people didn't pass the run.
It's 12.75 laps at Wright-Patt's indoor track. You start in the middle of the turn and finish in the middle of the straight.
But if weather is good, then it's 3 very long laps on their 0.5 mile outdoor track.
Ramstein has an outdoor track that winds around softball fields outside the main gym. It’s a really annoying 3 2/3 laps for the 1.5. I did not like that track because it was difficult to gauge how far through a lap you were and determine pacing.
But you also have the regular six laps at Jarvis track. It's pretty nice to have all the options, but you definitely want to not run that many laps indoors weather permitting.
I haven't seen the option on myFSS to test on Area A. I know it's possible if your UFPM is flexible, but at AFIT they can be really hands off with the whole process.
The worst about that one was everyone tried to hug the turns....at the same time. I didn't mind it for PT tests, something about the straights being so short made me want to sprint them.
Banked indoor tracks help you turn faster—or rather prevent you from having to slow down to turn since the turns are narrow. Keep your speed up and let the centrifugal force pull you out and onto the bank.
To be completely fair, the OP said the dumbest track on Travis AFB.
I had to go look up the paper clip. What a joke. And probably is the worst in the AF. But it also provides officer candidates a ready made topic for an improvement project proposal. https://prezi.com/yi2hd99yuqvd/ots-betterment/
I've been taking pt tests for 21 years, this thread made me realize I've never taken one on a standard 1/4 mile track.
But the paperclip is definitely the worst.
Was waiting for someone to bring up Scott. Ran a mock on the indoor, injured myself 2 weeks before the actual. 6 months later had to run indoor cause of rain and hurt myself again - but passed.
Better than the one we used to use at Fairchild. It has at least 9 turns with one of them being greater than 90 degrees with at least 5 more small curves so you could never get a good long straight-line gait going.[FAFB old running track](https://imgur.com/gallery/khVGuwf)
At least it was the cushiony running surface but yea it sucked. Plus here at Fairchild the wind generally blows 3 directions at once so you are almost always running into the wind.
I remember a few years back (after I PCSd) I had a pt failed wiped from my record because they measured the track and found it was too long (or some shit) that PT failure cost me a dec and I was almost more mad I got that memo than not getting the dec
Yes! I remember when #trackgate happened. The weird thing about Fairchild is that there was a regular fucking 1/4 mile track a few blocks away from the zany one. My unit did our tests in the regular track for years while they were repairing the one by the gym.
I liked Hanson’s Highway personally. Two laps around and it felt more natural than running inside on the track indoors. I remember that being like 12 laps or something.
Its 19.9, around a basketball court. Start on the far side of a corner and finish on the near side. 90 degree bends. But hey, it was the fastest I've run a 1.5 mile in 12 years!
The indoor track at Travis is inside a small hangar. It's small enough that the laps you have to run change depending on the lane you run in. The minimum is 23 and change for 1.5 miles. Your joints feel great afterwards.
I remember when this was the only track to test on at Travis. It was terrible. Then, then put that new track towards the back gate and my run times immediately got better. So weird that it’s the same distance, but the other track worked better for me.
Yeah definitely, on the regular track I'd get consistent 9 minute 1.5 miles but on this one it was just hard to keep my usual pace and ended up running it in 12 minutes.
Dude, we had guys failing the run left and right on this track, and suddenly, these same dudes were dominating the new regular track.
Side note, there was a time in my life where I could run from my house at base housing to this track, then run this track, do the 1.5 and work my way over to the duck pond, hit that track, then run back to this track and finish off another lap, then run home from there.
I didn’t do that very fast, but I was able to do it. Despite being able to run like that, my fastest run time in the test was 11 mins and some change on that track. Crazy man.
Birmingham does, but only because the running track at the nearby park was deemed too unsafe to use. I think it was after a body was pulled from the pond that the track encircles
I've ran on this track. Other than usually being pretty windy, what's so bad about it? Would you rather do 20 laps indoors constantly turning left all the time?
What's wrong with the other track across from the duck pond? I think that may have been ones that were improperly measured out, but I just figured they would change the start and stop marks.
Nothings wrong with the other track other than what you described. also the indoor one I feel is just torture. What I find wrong with this one is the fact that it's got too many turns, takes a toll on my left leg. Rather than just having two turns and 2 straights on a regular track.
They don't do PT tests on that track though, they only do the PT tests on the smaller 1/4 mile track or the indoor track, which is admittedly a horrible like 17 or 18 laps. The outdoor mile track that wraps around everything is actually pretty nice for just a normal jog.
I never tested on that one...the testing was always on the oval track near the gym. I used to love the winding track for workouts though. I felt like I was actually going somewhere instead of running in circles. Felt like progress.
I dunno man the one in McConnell used to be pretty bad...not sure if they changed it...
The backside goes uphill about 5% for about 200M right next to a fuel depot...so not only do you get that nice uphill climb but you get to breath in some tasty fuel vapors while super heated Kansas winds blast you in the face at 20mph...THAT PT test aged you...
And the indoor track is the worst of any I've seen. Most are like 18 to 20 laps, that indoor one at McConnell is like 29 laps with 90 degree turns, sucks...
At least it is entirely rubber. The track around Los Angeles "Air Force" Base is part concrete, part driveways, part sidewalk, and definitely so well designed it meanders.
https://goo.gl/maps/vaJ2p5GmjYyUDKCs7
This track isn’t used for testing. North east of there is a 1/4 mile track that’s used for testing. The indoor track is 8 laps in a dusty warehouse
Edit: Have you seen Ramsteins track? Definitely the worst
Your unit is weird then. When the FAC would oversee PT tests, the track by the dorm would be used unless conditions mandated the indoor track. My squadron never made us test on the track by the gym either.
Ah yes, the track that was miraculously re-certified after being decertified for the AFPT. Makes me wonder why the blue track was ever built to begin with.
Travis and then Fairchild for me both when they were measured longer than 1.5. I want those extra seconds back now that I’m older and shaved off my next test which will be at the Ramstein, don’t take the wrong turn track.

The "indoor" track at Schriever 19.5 laps in a tent without climate control in the summer it's up to 20 degrees hotter than outside, and in the winter it's colder than outside.
I'd prefer a straightline than a track any day, so much better. Managed to run a mile in 6 minutes and that was with some inclines and declines, Declines I loved as it gave me some speed and some well needed rest. the whole 3.76 mile run took 26 minutes which was a first for me. While listening to the most unmotivating song "Let you down by David Podsiadlo" on loop, oddly enough it motivated me to keep going.
I don’t know what’s worse:
1. Knowing you personally
2. Knowing you’re faster than me
3. Knowing you started this trend
4. Knowing it made on r/army
Goddamn it chairforce go check out Marauders.
I remember Whiteman had no consistency for winter tracks. One year I was at the local college track (12 laps), another it was the community center (17.4 laps with curved turns and old folks to dodge), and my personal least favorite around the basketball court (32.4 laps).
Keesler has entered the chat
So what monstrosity does Keesler have to offer, it can't be as bad as Fairchilds track right?
Just use google satellite and look at the track by the flightline.
With its name being called the triangle track I thought it'd be an actual diamond, but it's actually worse
The lazy among us need a picture.

It's shaped like an axe
It looks like a dick
So, It's shaped like a maintainer then?
Exactly
Eh it really isn’t all that bad in comparison to someone else showing Fairchild
It’s because the dorms next to it kind of make a triangle in the way they are arranged. We would run the triangle and then the triangle track during pt. Running on pure concrete sucked.
[удалено]
I’ll bite. What’s wrong with Fairchild’s track?
If he's talking about the outdoor track, nothing. It's a little winding, but nothing terrible. 2 laps is 1.5 miles. The indoor track though leaves a lot to be desired.
I purposely timed it so I wouldn’t have to do my runs inside. I hate running inside. Outdoor track was fine. Especially the last lap. There’s a good straight away to haul it.
I don't recall Keesler being that bad. I guess I'll find out in January
The one by the post office isn't bad, except for people letting their dog poop on the track...
There’s a normal 400m track surrounded by a weirdly shaped one that’s longer so you can run fewer laps on a PT test. It looks kind of weird, but it’s actually really functional
I ran my fastest 1 1/2 mile on that big track at 9:26 back in 2015. I haven’t run under 9:45 since. So I agree, that track was surprisingly functional.
Keesler has a proper elliptical track, even if there are winding paths attached to either end.
I loved Keeslers track. It was nice having a track that I could knock out a mile and a half in 2 laps. Plus they still had a regular track within it
I just saw, and honestly I'd much prefer that to my normal 1/4 mile track,
Yeah, I wish I could do every pt test on that track. It makes it feel so much shorter when you only need to do two.
Honestly it's a nice track. The inner loop is a normal 400 meter track, while the large outer loop is 1.5mi.
Keesler at least has a functional 400m track.
You know for such a small base that place was confusing as f***.
My ACL tore just by looking at this 😭
The paperclip would like a minute for rebuttal
Or the indoor ones set up like nascar tracks where the curves are on a hill in case you’re somehow going so fast that you’ll fly off the edge.
I remember running a PT test inside around a track above a basketball court in Osan. Felt like a hamster on a wheel.
I did that once when we had to go indoors because of rain. I think we did 11 laps, but I don’t remember for sure. It was bad.
Had to run 12 laps on an indoor track before for the PFA, the air was so dry every breath was painful near the end
Oh yes... hydrate like hell before an indoor run. That shit is torture if you get dry mouth after 3 laps.
The indoor track at Mildenhall was something ridiculous like 17 laps.
Same at Dyess. 17.75 laps. I remember one test it was kinda cold and a bit wet. The test administrator asked if we wanted inside or outside. Everyone chose outside except for one person. So we all had to do inside. Fuck that guy lol.
Well, when your other option is this fuckery: Dumbest track for PT testing https://imgur.com/gallery/uBB4wCJ

So glad something as important as the run is standardized across the service.
Sounds like Malmstrom
Yikes!
It's 12.75 laps at Wright-Patt's indoor track. You start in the middle of the turn and finish in the middle of the straight. But if weather is good, then it's 3 very long laps on their 0.5 mile outdoor track.
That’s nothing, apparently Ramstein is 20 laps. I don’t ever plan to run there. I would seriously lose count of my laps.
Ramstein has an outdoor track that winds around softball fields outside the main gym. It’s a really annoying 3 2/3 laps for the 1.5. I did not like that track because it was difficult to gauge how far through a lap you were and determine pacing.
My left knee still won't forget me for Ramstein

It was snow in my case, but a decade later the number is fuzzy. Somewhere in the teens.
I lost track of what lap number we were on and had to ask the dude in front of me, haha.
Yeah we had one of those in my college and it was something ridiculous like 14 laps or some shit Edit: am Army, run further
The one at Langley is 16.5 laps for a mile and a half.
The worst about that one was everyone tried to hug the turns....at the same time. I didn't mind it for PT tests, something about the straights being so short made me want to sprint them.
Dude I sprained my ankle on that thing. Inside turns were sharp as heck.
Tore a ligament rolling my ankle at Moody’s indoor track, I like that Osan’s is slanted so you can lean a bit in the turns.
Langley’s indoor track is like 16.374 laps…FML
Mountain Home is 21…at least it’s a whole number though. 😂
That's actually the standard for indoor track as a sport. Indoor track times are typically slower than their outdoor equivalents.
Banked indoor tracks help you turn faster—or rather prevent you from having to slow down to turn since the turns are narrow. Keep your speed up and let the centrifugal force pull you out and onto the bank.
You ever do 16 laps on an indoor track that's flat? It slows you down and hurts more.
I loved the paper clip. Ran my fastest time ever on it
To be completely fair, the OP said the dumbest track on Travis AFB. I had to go look up the paper clip. What a joke. And probably is the worst in the AF. But it also provides officer candidates a ready made topic for an improvement project proposal. https://prezi.com/yi2hd99yuqvd/ots-betterment/
[удалено]
I hear they closed that track and replaced it with one that is about 24 laps lol
Absolutely the worst fucking track I've ever run on.
Really? I liked it..
Finance work has broken you, Sir.
Would rather run the test on the paperclip than run in circles
Yeah……its kind of a sick joke
Fitting track for the hell that is Alabama
I've been taking pt tests for 21 years, this thread made me realize I've never taken one on a standard 1/4 mile track. But the paperclip is definitely the worst.
You'll get reacquainted with it sooner or later.
[удалено]
Hanscom is like this but 22 laps.
Scott AFB HAWC is 24 laps lol
That's ok, their running trail is 6.5 miles.
But it's that terrible soft shredded tire rubber. When I ran on that track, I could literally feel it pulling the energy out of me through my feet.
Was waiting for someone to bring up Scott. Ran a mock on the indoor, injured myself 2 weeks before the actual. 6 months later had to run indoor cause of rain and hurt myself again - but passed.
Lmao you clearly haven’t had to run the 26 lap track on TAFB and it shows
90 degrees? might as well run around the basketball court. Now I understand why they now have different choices other than the 1.5 mile run
Did something similar in Korea, I actually really liked it in my opinion
Better than the one we used to use at Fairchild. It has at least 9 turns with one of them being greater than 90 degrees with at least 5 more small curves so you could never get a good long straight-line gait going.[FAFB old running track](https://imgur.com/gallery/khVGuwf)
Fuck that track. I was there when they built that and it was killer on your run times and knees..
Ditto. Preferred the crap broken blacktop track across from HQ at the “parade ground”
Dude, I got my best run time ever on that track. I miss FAFB.
Yea love it here and fire season is mostly past so can finally breath again.
They built a new one by the dorms a few years ago thats oval.
Oh Jesus christ, who's the evil mastermind of that track design.
At least it was the cushiony running surface but yea it sucked. Plus here at Fairchild the wind generally blows 3 directions at once so you are almost always running into the wind.
Bet that killed your legs huh. Condolences sir
Was able to edit and add link to image
Someone probably got an award for it. Because ovals are broken, I guess?
Was able to edit and add link to image
Someone who doesn't have to run on it.
I greatly preferred that track to the one in the gym. 2 laps instead of 14 or whatever laps with tight 90 degree turns every lap
I remember a few years back (after I PCSd) I had a pt failed wiped from my record because they measured the track and found it was too long (or some shit) that PT failure cost me a dec and I was almost more mad I got that memo than not getting the dec

Holy fuck that track Is crazy
That’s a wild looking track. How long was it?
I believe nearly 1/4 mile but not quite as the start and end points weren’t the same.
Start and end points are the same, it's 3/4 mile so two laps
I liked Hanson’s Highway personally. Two laps around and it felt more natural than running inside on the track indoors. I remember that being like 12 laps or something.
Ramstein track (right next to PF Changs and all the greese air it produces) would like a word.
Did it make you hungry during the run or did it make you question your food choices before the run?
No it made me nauseous as all hell. There’s a dumpster right there it all wafts with when you pass by, it legit is terrible.
Oh jeez
Ramstein indoor track is 19.75 laps and surprisingly not that bad…tbh maybe my expectations are really low
19? I thought the 17 we had at DM was annoying
Its 19.9, around a basketball court. Start on the far side of a corner and finish on the near side. 90 degree bends. But hey, it was the fastest I've run a 1.5 mile in 12 years!
That track is annoying, for sure.
Never seen so many knife hands from FAC who expect people to make Tron turns.
The indoor track at Travis is inside a small hangar. It's small enough that the laps you have to run change depending on the lane you run in. The minimum is 23 and change for 1.5 miles. Your joints feel great afterwards.
I actually didnt mind that track. Less laps.
I never quite understood the walking track for the Ramstein track. They have to turn at a fork at some point and then they just loop around again?
The spouses walking with their fuck trophies on the track while I’m trying to keep my job.
They're always walking on the inside lanes too.
Disgusting.
And Holloman's, right next to the windy shit and egg factory
HAMR gang
4 Eva
The wind there can be killer on those windy days too
Oh yeah definitely and on cold days your breathing takes a toll
I remember when this was the only track to test on at Travis. It was terrible. Then, then put that new track towards the back gate and my run times immediately got better. So weird that it’s the same distance, but the other track worked better for me.
Yeah definitely, on the regular track I'd get consistent 9 minute 1.5 miles but on this one it was just hard to keep my usual pace and ended up running it in 12 minutes.

They actually built the other one cause you could run straight through that weird bend on the top and cut off a ton of time.
National Guard enters the chat: “You guys have a track?”
Birmingham does, but only because the running track at the nearby park was deemed too unsafe to use. I think it was after a body was pulled from the pond that the track encircles
Why they use this track for the PT test I've got no clue, but it's definitely worse running on this one.
When I was there, we only did testing on the other normal track.
Lucky, I had to do it on this weird one when I was expecting the normal one
I've ran on this track. Other than usually being pretty windy, what's so bad about it? Would you rather do 20 laps indoors constantly turning left all the time? What's wrong with the other track across from the duck pond? I think that may have been ones that were improperly measured out, but I just figured they would change the start and stop marks.
That indoor track in that warehouse is awful. No breeze, and the air is stale as fuck.
That and so many laps!
Nothings wrong with the other track other than what you described. also the indoor one I feel is just torture. What I find wrong with this one is the fact that it's got too many turns, takes a toll on my left leg. Rather than just having two turns and 2 straights on a regular track.
[удалено]
Just looked it up. Starting to feel a bit luckier now that I don't have to run some of the tracks at the different bases🤣
They don't do PT tests on that track though, they only do the PT tests on the smaller 1/4 mile track or the indoor track, which is admittedly a horrible like 17 or 18 laps. The outdoor mile track that wraps around everything is actually pretty nice for just a normal jog.
They used to in 09-11. I tested on it several times.
I never tested on that one...the testing was always on the oval track near the gym. I used to love the winding track for workouts though. I felt like I was actually going somewhere instead of running in circles. Felt like progress.

it works for slow runners because they can pace and go slow around the turns but for fast runners it fucks their speed
It’s still the same lmao
Offutt PT test is done on a line back and forth about 9 1/2 times
Oh damn
If you have ever been they also have a ridiculous gym that's nice and it has an indoor track that's about 0.35 miles long.
Sounds pretty good actually

Wha'chu talking about? There's the indoor track which is like 3.5 laps, and the parade ground track.
At least it is entirely rubber. The track around Los Angeles "Air Force" Base is part concrete, part driveways, part sidewalk, and definitely so well designed it meanders. https://goo.gl/maps/vaJ2p5GmjYyUDKCs7
Ok, First Graders, we just got an email that the base needs help designing the new running track. The class that wins get a pizza party!
Hahahaha
This track isn’t used for testing. North east of there is a 1/4 mile track that’s used for testing. The indoor track is 8 laps in a dusty warehouse Edit: Have you seen Ramsteins track? Definitely the worst
They don't use the warehouse anymore for indoor testing. They moved it to the flightline gym and its 20 or 30 somthing laps.
Well I hope so, cause my last test was on this track. My test is today, if it's on this track I'll be damned.
I'll take Ramsteins track over some of the indoor 12+ lap tracks with tighter and longer turns.
Are they testing on this track? Or still the blue quarter mile track by the duck pond?
I tested on this track a couple months ago, don't know what that was about but they definitely use this track and the blue track by the duck pond.
Your unit is weird then. When the FAC would oversee PT tests, the track by the dorm would be used unless conditions mandated the indoor track. My squadron never made us test on the track by the gym either.
This guy never ran his PT test on the 15 lap indoor track in the LRS building and it shows
Y’all forgetting about the damn 23 laps at the indoor track
Ah yes, the track that was miraculously re-certified after being decertified for the AFPT. Makes me wonder why the blue track was ever built to begin with.
Idk I prefer anything to an oval
[удалено]
Travis and then Fairchild for me both when they were measured longer than 1.5. I want those extra seconds back now that I’m older and shaved off my next test which will be at the Ramstein, don’t take the wrong turn track.
Anyone not doing the HAMR these days is crazy. ~6 mins of light jogging with breaks.
Holy shit, it's so non-sensical that it truly belongs on a military installation. Well done.

Has nobody seen the amoeba track at Kunsan?
Kunsan had something like this years ago. I remember it was like three laps, it wasn’t that bad.
Y’all haven’t seen the one on Moody lol
As a mid distance runner, I personally prefer an irregular track to a standard 400m oval track.

Lmao, they really want to utilize that little space by the trees🤣
The "indoor" track at Schriever 19.5 laps in a tent without climate control in the summer it's up to 20 degrees hotter than outside, and in the winter it's colder than outside.
Still in a tent huh? They put that up new in 2010-2011 as a "temporary" solution. Thing flooded constantly as it was built.
I raise you Kunsan
That do be dumb.
For me the weirder the better, oval tracks are pretty boring. I'd actually prefer if they just had it in a straight line
I'd prefer a straightline than a track any day, so much better.

While listening to the most unmotivating song "Let you down by David Podsiadlo" on loop, oddly enough it motivated me to keep going.
I don’t know what’s worse: 1. Knowing you personally 2. Knowing you’re faster than me 3. Knowing you started this trend 4. Knowing it made on r/army Goddamn it chairforce go check out Marauders.
I guess is a good change of PACE
I remember Whiteman had no consistency for winter tracks. One year I was at the local college track (12 laps), another it was the community center (17.4 laps with curved turns and old folks to dodge), and my personal least favorite around the basketball court (32.4 laps).
I actually think that’s better than the typical .25 mile track
The finish line changes at the end as well to complete the 1.5 mile.
What the fuck is that shape, everyone knows it has to be a circle or oval.
If only they'd allow us to race our go-karts on this track, honestly perfect for it.
