How far is 10k?
Anyone can do a 10k
If you have taken part in a 5k Race for Life before, maybe this year you want to try the 10k event? Or maybe 10k is a better distance for you?
10 kilometres is just over six miles - that might sound long, but most people can walk it in under two hours - just like a stroll in the countryside!
So exactly how far is 10k?
10k is …
- walking the circular Postbrige walk in Dartmoor
- a stroll along the Grand Union Canal in central London
- a trip through Bristol from Bedminster Library to Ashton Court Mansion
- strolling along the River Tyne in Newcastle
- a wander around Holyrood Park in Edinburgh
- walking from the Millennium Centre in Cardiff to Mermaid Quay, twice
- twice round Manchester University's campus
- a jaunt along Beachy Head from Eastbourne to Birling Gap
- walking up and down Northern Ireland's Bangor beach three times
