702 Steps to Miles
Covering 702 steps in a day means covering close to 0.35 miles of ground. If a landmark helps more than a number, that's about walking every aisle of a typical grocery store. NHANES accelerometer data puts the average American at 8,818 steps a day. This step count comes out to about 8% of that.

702 Steps to Miles, By Height
The 2,000-steps-per-mile figure above is a flat average. Stride length actually scales with height, so the same 702 steps covers a different distance depending on how tall the walker is.
| Height | Distance |
|---|---|
| Short (~5'2") | 0.28 mi |
| Average (~5'7") | 0.31 mi |
| Tall (~6'2") | 0.34 mi |

Did You Know?
A large 2017 smartphone study across 46 countries (published in Nature) found average daily step counts varying enormously by country, roughly 4,000 to nearly 6,900. The researchers found that inequality in step counts within a country predicted obesity rates better than the average did.
George Meegan's 1977-1983 trek from the southern tip of South America to Alaska covered roughly 19,000 miles on foot the entire way, still recognized as the longest unbroken walking journey ever recorded.
