Unit Definition (step)
The step is a traditional unit of distance, equal to 1/2 pace. The step is traditionally equal to 30 inches or 76.2 centimeters. However, U.S. marching bands often use a shorter step of 22.5 inches (57.15 centimeters), so that 8 steps are made every 5 yards; this works well on American football fields, which have a chalkline every 5 yards. Using this shorter step is called marching "8 by 5."

Unit Definition (kilometer)
The kilometer is one of the most common metric units of length or distance. One kilometer equals exactly 1000 meters (metres), about 0.62137119 mile, 1093.6133 yards, or 3280.8399 feet.
