The mile has old roots tied to land measures. Over time, 5,280 feet became the fixed standard for a statute mile. Today, it’s the official value used for road distance and most day-to-day use.
A statute mile is always 5,280 feet. But there are other miles with different lengths, like the nautical mile used at sea and in aviation.
A nautical mile is 6,076.12 feet (based on 1,852 meters). Don’t mix it with the statute mile when converting miles to feet.
Use feet = miles × 5,280. This helps when a route is in miles but a plan or map uses feet. It’s also useful for pacing, stride goals, and route notes.
These quick values come up a lot:
