How many miles in 5ks?

[porkypie]

How many miles in 5ks, is it about 1 and a half

 

[HseagullsH]

No. 1km = 1000m
1 mile = 1600m

so 5km = 5000m = 3.125 miles.

 

[Gwylan]

Just over three miles (3.125 to be exact)

 

[dannyboy]

no its more

If you mean 5 Kilometres just over 3 miles

 

[strings]

1 mile is pretty much 1.6 k's.

1.6k - 1 mile
3.2k - 2 miles
4.8k - 3 miles.

So, 5's is just a tad over 3 miles.

Or accurate.

Miles to Kilometres is divide by 5 and times 8
Kilometres to miles is divide by 8 and times 5

Works every time.

Or accurate.

Indeed.

My sarcasm was unwarranted. I mile is 1608.6m - and I've been thinking it was 1600 for about 40 years

That is because a km is about 5/8 mile, or a furlong.

(a metre measures 3 foot 3, it's longer than a yard you see)

I find it easier to remember a 10K run is the same (or thereabouts) as a 6 mile run. So it is about 3 miles.

 

[xenophon]

A marathon is 26 miles and 385 yards, or 42.195 kilometres

It's 5000km in a gorilla suit
