There is a timed run..although it's been a while since I was in the academy. Most all requirements for one academy are the same for all the academy's. Every Police Academy in Maryland is governed somewhat by the Maryland Police Training Commission, which has minimum standards each academy has to meet.

Best of luck, follow bad1032's advice, he/she put it better than I have ever heard it. Good luck and welcome.
