How far does an official run/walk during a typical game?

I don't know many basketball officials capable of ONE 6 minute mile, much less five in a row. Of course, there is some ground that gets covered while the clock is not moving -- reporting fouls, getting teams out of time outs, getting ready for inbounds plays, etc. But five miles is probably a bit of a stretch.

I'm not sure I could drive 5 mile at a 6 minute/mile pace, let alone run it
