3 km Run Test Results

What is it?

The 3 km run test is one of many versions of the walk/run test.

Top Scores

Comparing scores is often difficult, particularly as the test is often run outdoors and the effects of the enviromnental conditions (wind, heat, cold) can greatly affect the results. Other factors that may affect the variability of results include the amount of warm-up, motivation of the particpants and the amount of encouragement given. Below are some of the test scores that have been found, with not all of them being confirmed.

AFL

  • The 3km run test is performed at the AFL Draft Camp each year. Some of the best results in previous years are: 9:37 by Tim Houlihan (2006) and 10:02 by Jarrad McVeigh (2002). See more draft camp results.

Rugby

  • The Indian rugby sevens team did a 3 km run in under 11 minutes, after some pre-season training focusing on fitness (IndiaTimes website, Dec 07).
