1500 meters

1500 meters is approximately 1.5 kilometers or just under a mile. It's a common distance used in middle-distance running events in athletics. To give perspective, it’s about 15 football fields laid end-to-end or roughly 1.5 times the length of a standard 100-meter sprint track. In daily life, it’s roughly a 15-minute walk from a neighborhood to a nearby store or a 10-minute bike ride. This distance is often used as a benchmark for measuring athletic performance or for planning runs and walks.
