Short answer: 10,000 steps typically cover about 6 to 8 kilometers (roughly 4 to 5 miles), depending on your stride length. Details

• How far 1,000 steps go: with an average stride length around 0.74 meters (2.4 feet), 1,000 steps ≈ 0.74 km.
• Typical ranges:
  • 10,000 steps ≈ 6.0–8.0 km (3.7–5.0 miles) for most adults.
  • If you have a longer stride (taller height), you’ll be closer to the 7.5–8 km end.
  • If you have a shorter stride, you’ll be nearer the 6 km end.
• Quick conversions you can use:
  • 2,000 steps ≈ 1.2–1.6 km
  • 5,000 steps ≈ 3.0–4.0 km
  • 7,500 steps ≈ 4.5–6.0 km

Notes

• Exact distance depends on individual stride length, walking speed, and terrain.
• For precise measurement, use a pedometer or smartphone health app calibrated to your height and gait.
