How to use

  1. Enter the distance in kilometres.
  2. Read the value in miles.
  3. Check the table for race distances.

How it works

Exact factor: 1 km = 0.621371 mi. Quick estimate: multiply by 0.6 (100 km → 60 mi, exact 62.1 mi), or take half and add a tenth of the km.

Speed limits convert the same way: 50 km/h is 31.1 mph, 90 km/h is 55.9 mph and 130 km/h is 80.8 mph.

Examples

10K race
10 km = 6.21 miles.
Marathon
42.195 km = 26.22 miles.

Common uses

  • Running and cycling
