Miles to km converter
This miles to km converter gives the kilometers for any distance in miles while you type, for the odometer of a US car, a cycling route or a running plan, based on the exact length of the statute mile.
Formula: km = mi × 1.609344 10 × 1.609344 = 16.09344

Inside the miles to km converter
Type miles on the left; the kilometers show next to them, with meters, yards and feet in the list below. At its starting value, 10 miles, the page reads 16.09344 km. Two legs of a trip can go in as a sum, 12.4+8.7, and the miles to km converter returns 33.96 km for the total. The round button flips you over to the km to miles converter when you need the other direction.
The yard is fixed at exactly 0.9144 meter (NIST) and the statute mile is 1,760 yards, which makes 1,609.344 meters. So the miles to km converter multiplies by 1.609344, no more and no less: 300 miles × 1.609344 = 482.8032 km. For a rough check in your head, add 60 percent to the miles: 10 miles becomes 16 km, against 16.09 exactly.

Miles to kilometers on the road, the bike and the trail
Drive north into Canada or south into Mexico and the signs switch to kilometers, while your itinerary and your US car still count in miles. A 300-mile day is about 483 km on the signs, and a gas station 40 miles away is 64.4 km down the road. Speed limits follow the same switch; for those, the mph to km/h converter is the right tool.
Mileage is the other big use. A used car shipped from the US to Canada or Europe shows miles on the odometer, and the buyer thinks in kilometers: 60,000 miles is 96,560.64 km. Enter the reading in the miles to km converter and check it against the listing or the registration papers.
Cyclists call a 100-mile ride a century, which is 160.93 km, and 50 miles, 80.47 km, is a classic ultramarathon distance. US running plans count weekly mileage, so a 15-mile long run shows as 24.14 km on a watch set to metric. The 60 percent rule is fine for a guess, but splits and race paces deserve the miles to km converter.
US trail guides give hike lengths in miles too: a 7.5-mile loop is 12.07 km once the miles to km converter has done its work. The elevation gain on the same page is listed in feet, and the feet to meters converter handles that part.
