What is 10 kilometers?

10 kilometers is like walking from one end of a long playground to the other, but much, much longer.

Imagine you're on a really long walk with your best friend. You both start at the same point and keep walking straight until you've covered 10 kilometers. That’s almost like walking from your house to school and back again, but 10 times!

• A kilometer is like a very long football field, about 100 of them lined up end to end.
• So, 10 kilometers is like walking across 1,000 football fields in a row.

If you were running instead of walking, it would feel even quicker! You might be able to cover that distance in just a little over an hour, and still have energy for ice cream afterward.
