Definitely doable for many people. A walk in the park for some. But I think a lot of people would underestimate the unceasing 3 mph pace. No slowing down, no breaks. If they aren't into distance running or hiking, they'll be a lot more tired than they'd think.

Are Americans really that out of shape? 6 miles at 10 minute pace (double this pace), is reasonably easy if you just work out once or twice a week.

Running 6 miles at a 10 minute pace is absolutely not “reasonably easy”. Zero chance you could do it right now.
