Questions walkers ask

How many miles is 10,000 steps?

About 4.4 miles (7 km) for an average-height adult. Shorter walkers cover about 4 miles; taller walkers closer to 5.

How many miles is 5,000 steps?

Roughly 2.2 miles (3.5 km) at an average step length of about 28 inches.

How do I convert steps to miles?

Multiply your steps by your step length in inches, then divide by 63,360 (the number of inches in a mile). Or divide steps by your steps-per-mile number — around 2,250 for most adults.

How accurate is this?

Height-based step length is a decent estimate, typically within 5–10%. For best accuracy, measure your step length over a known distance and enter it as a custom value.
