A 10K race is 10 kilometres long. The prefix 'kilo' means 1000. Therefore it would be 10 units of 1000 metres or 10,000 metres. It is 25 times around the inside lane (lane 1) of a standard olympic track (400 metre oval). One mile is 1609.344 metres (that will round off to the nearest millimetre). Therefore, 10K = 10,000/1609.344 or 6.213711922 miles. 10K = 6 miles 376 yards 4 and 25/32 inches
