Frequently Asked Questions

How many miles are in 1 kilometre?
1 kilometre equals 0.621371 miles (approximately 0.62 mi or about 5/8 of a mile). A quick mental trick: multiply km by 0.6 for a close estimate.
How do I convert a 5K race distance to miles?
A 5K race is 5 kilometres, which equals 3.10686 miles (usually called a 3.1-mile race). This is a popular distance for events like the Ottawa Race Weekend or the Vancouver Sun Run.
What is 100 km in miles per hour?
100 km/h equals 62.137 mph. This is the standard speed limit on many Canadian highways (like Highway 400), useful to know when driving south into the U.S. where speeds are posted in mph.
How far is a marathon in miles?
A full marathon is 42.195 km, which equals 26.2188 miles (commonly stated as 26.2 miles). Major Canadian marathons, like the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, use this standard distance.
What is a quick way to estimate km to miles?
Two methods: (1) Multiply km by 0.6 for a rough estimate, or (2) use the Fibonacci sequence trick — consecutive Fibonacci numbers approximate the ratio. For example, 5 km ≈ 3 mi and 8 km ≈ 5 mi. For better accuracy, multiply by 0.62.
