3,000 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″) | 1.87 km · 1.16 mi | 1.86 km · 1.15 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 1.93 km · 1.20 mi | 1.92 km · 1.19 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 1.99 km · 1.24 mi | 1.98 km · 1.23 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 2.05 km · 1.28 mi | 2.04 km · 1.27 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 2.12 km · 1.32 mi | 2.11 km · 1.31 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 2.18 km · 1.35 mi | 2.17 km · 1.35 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 2.24 km · 1.39 mi | 2.23 km · 1.39 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 2.30 km · 1.43 mi | 2.29 km · 1.42 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 2.37 km · 1.47 mi | 2.35 km · 1.46 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 2.43 km · 1.51 mi | 2.42 km · 1.50 mi |
