A local radio station is having a contest. One of the DJ's is walking about 75 miles for the March of Dimes walkathon. He is walking some each day starting today until Sunday. He is wearing a pedometer(?) The contest is to guess how many steps he will take in this walk. Anyone know how many steps in an average mile? He is about 5'9 if that helps. Thanks. Oh, the winner gets tickets to the Eagles concert in May, all expenses paid. Thanks.

between 2000 to 2500 steps in a mile depending on the height and the stride the person takes. They say on average that it is 2000 steps but usually falls in between.

I went at noon and met the DJ who is doing the walk for the March of Dimes. This was his stop for the day. Talked with him, had my pic taken with him, bought a tshirt and submitted my answer. Let you know Monday evening.
