To walk around the Earth once at the equator, you’d need to cover about 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers).
This measurement comes from the planet’s circumference at its widest point.
If you followed a more practical walking route (zigzagging around oceans, terrain, and borders), the distance would be even longer—but the equatorial number is the standard benchmark used for challenges.
