A furlong is a measure of distance in imperial units and U.S. customary units. It is equal to one-eighth of a mile or 660 feet or 201.168 metres. Five furlongs are approximately 1 kilometre (1.00584 km to be exact). Since the original definition of the metre was one-quarter of one ten-millionth of the circumference of the Earth (along the great circle coincident with the meridian of longitude passing through Paris), the circumference of the Earth is about 40,000 km or about 200,000 furlongs.

- El furlong es una unidad de longitud de medida del sistema anglosajón. El nombre completo de la unidad es surveyor furlong. Un furlong equivale a:
* 220 yardas
* 201,1680 metros Ocho furlongs equivalen a una milla. Las distancias inferiores a una milla en las carreras de caballos en el Reino Unido, Irlanda y Estados Unidos se dan en furlongs, pero la unidad ha caído bastante en desuso. Su uso oficial fue abolido en el Reino Unido bajo el Weights and Measures Act de 1985, que también abolió el uso oficial de muchas otras unidades tradicionales de medida.
- The furlong is a unit of distance measuring that have had various definitions over time. Vysogota of Corvo said to Ciri that, during the events of the Witcher saga, the generally agreed upon reckoning is that 420 furlongs are the equivalent of about 50 miles.
