Fan dance (exercise)
The Fan Dance is part of the Fitness and Navigation phase of the selection process of the UK's Special Forces personnel. It has also been used on courses run by the Pathfinder Group, the RAF regiment II Parachute Squadron and the Infantry Battle School, Brecon, Wales. It is a 24 kilometre long distance march in the Brecon Beacons of Wales that takes place at the end of the first week of the selection course.〔Curtis, Mike: "''C.Q.B.''", 1997〕 It is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental determination to complete the selection course.
The candidates are divided into two groups and each starts from opposite sides of Pen y Fan, an 886 metre high peak. One group starts at Torpantau railway station, the other at the Storey Arms Mountain Rescue Centre.〔McNab, Andy: "''Immediate Action''" 1995〕 Each participant carries an 22.22 kilogram Bergen backpack, a rifle (a further 2.97 kg), food and 4 one litre water bottles (an extra 5kgs). The candidates climb Pen y Fan and descend on the far side, they then turn around and reverse the route. They are given 4 hours 10 minutes to complete the speed march. Although they start off in a group, it is an individual best effort. The Fan Dance is distinct from the Long Drag, a 64 km march with a 25 kg backpack that is the culminating event of the Fitness and Navigation phase of the selection course.〔Kemp, Anthony: "''The SAS, Savage Wars of Peace''", 1994〕
The Fan Dance is also organised as an endurance event based on the SAS march by the same name, managed by Avalanche Endurance Events. www.thefandancerace.com
