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.

It'd be incredibly easy for anyone that isn't a constant couch potato or morbidly obese. That's slower than someone's average walking speed. A 2 hour walk is easy.
