Why is a marathon exactly 26.2 miles?
The distance was set almost by accident at the 1908 London Olympics: the route was extended from a planned 26 miles so it could start at Windsor Castle and finish in front of the royal box, adding 385 yards. That specific distance, 26.2188 miles (42.195 km), was formally adopted as the standard marathon length by the IAAF in 1921.
How many miles are in a kilometre?
One kilometre is about 0.621371 miles, because a mile is defined as exactly 1609.344 metres. So to go from km to miles you multiply by roughly 0.621371.
How do I convert km to miles in my head?
A fast mental shortcut is to cut the kilometre figure roughly in half, then add about ten percent, which lands close to multiplying by 0.6 outright. Save the exact 0.621371 factor above for anything that actually needs to be precise.
Is this the international mile?
Yes. It uses the international statute mile of 1609.344 metres, the standard for road distances. Nautical miles are different and are available in the full Length Converter.
How accurate is the result?
It uses the exact international definition, so the answer is accurate to many decimal places, not a rounded approximation.
