Pace count is defined as the number of paces to walk how far?

• A. 100 meters
• B. 1 kilometer
• C. 10 meters
• D. 50 meters

Answer: (A)

Pace count is the number of paces needed to walk a fixed distance, used to estimate distance traveled in the field. That fixed distance is 100 meters. You determine your own pace length by walking a known 100-meter stretch and counting how many paces you take; this count becomes your pace count per 100 meters. Then you can estimate distance in the field by using that same count, adjusting for terrain, load, and slope since pace length can vary. The idea is a repeatable unit: paces per 100 meters.
