2,000 steps to km by height
Distance depends on step length, which is roughly proportional to height. This table uses the common estimate of height × 0.415 for men and height × 0.413 for women, at a normal walking pace.
| Height | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| 150 cm (4′11″) | 1.24 km · 0.77 mi | 1.24 km · 0.77 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 1.29 km · 0.80 mi | 1.28 km · 0.80 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 1.33 km · 0.83 mi | 1.32 km · 0.82 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 1.37 km · 0.85 mi | 1.36 km · 0.85 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 1.41 km · 0.88 mi | 1.40 km · 0.87 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 1.45 km · 0.90 mi | 1.45 km · 0.90 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 1.49 km · 0.93 mi | 1.49 km · 0.92 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 1.54 km · 0.95 mi | 1.53 km · 0.95 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 1.58 km · 0.98 mi | 1.57 km · 0.98 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 1.62 km · 1.01 mi | 1.61 km · 1.00 mi |
