Are you fit enough to join the Royal Marines?

Ever dreamed of night-time boat assaults on an enemy beach? See if you could pass the Royal Marines entrance fitness test. 

The basic test is: 
- do a 1.5 mile run in under 12.5mins 
- 1 minute rest 
- do a second 1.5 mile run in under 10.5mins 

Then a gym test: 
- press-ups in 2 mins (min target: 60) 
- 2 mins rest 
- sit-ups in 2 mins (min target: 80) 
- 2 mins rest 
- as many pull-ups as you can do without letting go (min target: 6) 

There's also a bleep test and assault course, but we'll let you feeble civilians off for now. 





Any score greater than 0 - congratulations, expect a call from the Marines any moment now. 

Less than 0 - well, your score says it all! Work hard, work fast, work-out!
