I think I see your point but keep in mind, running events in the Army arent that much different than a road race considering the consequences be it a simple APFT or much harder event. Performing badly (or just not that good) can make or break you.
Plus quite a few even in straight leg Infantry units, let alone Special Forces or Ranger Regiment, run road races, duathlons, and triathlons.
I think I feel some of your pain (I guess). If you think your busy now wait 'till you get older (and less responsive to training) and you work 48 hours a week, have three children, and have to lift weights 6 days a week, run 20-30 miles a week, ruck, and swim thousands of meters a week to stay competitive!
