how many furlongs in a mile
You can do the reverse unit conversion from mile to furlongs, or enter any two units below: I'm feeling lucky, show me some random units. A furlong is a measure of distance within Imperial units and U.S. customary units, and is equal to 660 feet or 201.168 metres. There are eight furlongs in a mile. Distances for thoroughbred horse races in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States are still given in miles and furlongs (example), but the unit is otherwise no longer in common use.
