A length of 6,600 feet is the total distance that's run by the horses on the Kentucky Derby racetrack. That translates to 1-1/4 miles, 2 kilometers, or 10 furlongs. That's a bit shorter, than the original distance of 1-1/2 miles in the first 20 years of the racetrack's existence, 1875-1895.

ProfessorThe Kentucky Derby race covers a distance of 1-1/4 miles. That's 2 kilometers. That's a distance of 10 furlongs, a unit of measure that today mainly applies only to horse racing.
That has been the total distance since 1896. But the distance was a bit longer in the first 20 years of the racetrack's existence. Specifically, the run was 1-1/2 miles, 1875-1895.
