This event measures speed, quickness and agility.

Shuttle run testing
Mark two parallel lines 30 feet apart and place two blocks of wood or similar object behind one of the lines. Students start behind opposite line. On the signal "Ready? Go!" the student runs to the blocks, picks one up, runs back to the starting line, places block behind the line, runs back and picks up the second block and runs back across starting line.

Shuttle run tip
Be sure the participants understand the importance of running through the finish line.

Shuttle run scoring
Blocks should not be thrown across the lines. Scores are recorded to the nearest tenth of a second.
