Kilometres and miles in the UK
The UK is one of the few countries that still signs its roads in miles: speed limits, distance signs and car odometers all use miles, while Ordnance Survey maps, athletics and most of the rest of the world use kilometres. That is why converting between the two matters here more than almost anywhere else.
Handy anchors: a 5K parkrun is about 3.1 miles, a 10K is 6.2 miles, and a marathon (42.195 km) is 26.2 miles. On the road, 100 km is just over 62 miles.
