The length of 10,000 steps depends on the length of your stride, which varies based on factors like height, gender, and walking speed. However, on average:

• Average step length for adults: about 2.1 to 2.5 feet (0.64 to 0.76 meters)
• Average distance for 10,000 steps: roughly 5 miles (8 kilometers)

Breakdown:

• If your step length is 2.5 feet (30 inches), then:
  • 10,000 steps × 2.5 feet = 25,000 feet
  • 25,000 feet ÷ 5,280 feet/mile ≈ 4.73 miles (7.6 km)
• If your step length is 2.1 feet (25 inches), then:
  • 10,000 steps × 2.1 feet = 21,000 feet
  • 21,000 feet ÷ 5,280 feet/mile ≈ 3.98 miles (6.4 km)

Summary:

Step Length (feet)| Distance for 10,000 steps| Distance (km)
---|---|---
2.1| ~4 miles| ~6.4 km
2.5| ~4.7 miles| ~7.6 km

So, walking 10,000 steps is generally about 4 to 5 miles (6.4 to 8 km). If you want a more precise estimate, you can measure your own step length by walking a known distance and counting your steps, then multiply by 10,000.
