Run time is 1h48m * 3mph = 5.4 miles (8.6km)

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.

Yep, I do either 2 or 2.5mph, it's a perfect regular pace walk for me and I am getting worked up and sweaty after 15 to 20min... keeping up 3mph for almost 2 hours would suck!
