How many steps are in a kilometre?

It takes approximately 1,200–1,500 steps to walk 1 kilometre, depending on your height and pace.

How many km is 10,000 steps?

10,000 steps is approximately 7–8.5 km for most adults walking at an average pace.

10,000 steps burns roughly 300–500 calories depending on weight, height and pace.

21,000 steps is approximately 15–18 km depending on your height and pace.

Based on average stride for a 5′9″ male at 5 kph.

How are steps converted to kilometres?: Stride length is estimated from your height (male: height × 0.415, female: height × 0.413) and adjusted for pace. Distance = steps × stride ÷ 1,000.
How many km is 10,000 steps?: For most adults, 10,000 steps equals about 7–8.5 km. The exact distance depends on your height and stride length.
How are calories calculated?: Calories = MET × weight (kg) × time (hours). MET values range from 2.5 for a slow walk to 12.0 for a fast run, following standard metabolic equivalent tables.
Do men and women have different stride lengths?: Yes, slightly. Research shows the male stride factor is ≈ 0.415× height and the female factor is ≈ 0.413× height. The difference is small but adds up over thousands of steps.
