Yeh, a hour is probably right. I casually walked last year, got lost, and my time was about 1 1/2 hours.

Finally got a watch that tells me distance/heart rate and such. Glad I did, it appears I am running at redline with that vest on for waaaay too long. Max HR should be around 179bpm for my age and I was in Zone 5 and all the way up to 191bpm for 15 minutes of a 16 min 2 mile run. I am also starting out much too fast. I am going to have to back off the pace a bit or I think my shooting will be virtually non-existent...that or bring 300 rounds of ammo for each weapon system. 
2 miles, 20 lb vest, Heart rate vs Pace Overlay:

I just got finished running the posted course in full kit minus rifle and pistol (cold range can’t do that). All I can say is if you’re running the 10k, bless your hearts.
Best I could manage for the 5k was 38:25. Humbling. I plan on trying to run it again next weekend and each weekend until the race. I’d say course is 70/30 road to gravel. Lots of hills. Shotgun hill is a beast. I couldn’t run the whole thing. Tough even walking up it.

Yep. Same here. However the hills I’ve been running pale in comparison (though steepest I can find). Per my truck off-road app, shotgun hill is 13degrees, so a 23% grade. Other hills were 7 and 8, so 12% grades.
I had to stop running with my plate carrier, it was about 25lbs and it was killing my knees just running on mainly flat ground. Sounds like I need to find some hills to practice on.
With about 4 lbs of Taco Bell for the first 3 miles...
I made a NY resolution to run 500 miles, lose 30 lbs, and run a sub 50 min 10k in 2019. 2/3 of the way home. I have a RnG or 10k race every other Saturday until thanksgiving penciled in, I may just luck into the last goal.
Going to CMP Friday to get dope on TA33. My rifle lost some weight too.
