Question

How many calories does a 2 mile run burn?

Answer 1

I use coolrunning.com for figuring this out.  You can input your weight and miles ran and get how many calories burned.  For me at 160 lbs it would be about 250.

Answer 2

Depends on how fast you are going.

A 160-pound person jogging at 6 miles per hour will burn around 12.5 calories each minute.

Answer 3

It depends not on speed, but on elevation changes.  Generally, the law is 1 mile = 100 calories.  It changes if you're heavier, but not by very much.

2 miles is about 200 calories, no matter how fast or slow you do it.  UNLESS you're running up a mountain.  It might be 250-300 calories.

Answer 4

funny you should ask i was just comparing a tredmill and elliptical (stairstepper) last night...i ran 2 miles at 3% incline for 6 m.p.h. last night and burnt 225 calories...i'm a male and weight 200 lbs took me around 15 minutes to run those 2 miles...then as soon as i was done i went to the elliptical and did 15 minutes worth and burnt 300 calories thats at 68 rotations per minute...so all in all i burnt more calories on the elliptical in the same amount of time as running...hope this helps and to answer your question between 200-250 calories i would say...
