The one thing you have to be careful of when converting steps to distance is that the nature of the steps for an official is not likely to match those used to calibrate the distance. We take a lot of small adjustment steps as referees and they'll get counted the same as a full stride. It may well be 2.3 miles but I don't think you can rely on the distance....or for that matter the calories. They'll probably be overestimated.
