6 miles is 9.66 kilometres.
A mile is defined as exactly 1.609344 kilometres, so multiply the mileage by that factor: 6 × 1.609344 = 9.656 km. Rounding the factor to 1.61 is close enough for everyday distances. For a quick estimate, add about 60 percent — 6 plus 3.6 gives roughly 9.6 km, within a rounding error of the exact 9.66 km.
Six miles is 9.66 km, just short of the 10K race distance. The gap matters to runners: a 10K is 6.21 miles, so a six-mile training run leaves about 340 metres unaccounted for — enough to feel at the end of a race.
