how long takes to travel 100 miles?

Easy: It takes as long as the DM wants. The PCs travel at the Speed of Plot.

If only. My players can only move as fast as their characters can manage. What they can manage, though, might be more than they realize.

But plots are never used in my games.

1000 Spartan Hoplites ran 240km from Sparta to Marathon in three days, to aid the Athenians at the battle of Marathon, only to discover that the battle was already won. Not being party dudes they didn't hang around, instead promptly marched back. In three days again. With ful battlegear.

Me, I struggle to walk 100m to the snackshop at work.

You can generally expect well-conditioned soldiers to make an average 20 miles per day in full gear in terrain that is not overly hilly or forested. As an example Stonewall Jackson expected his troops to be able to march 40 miles per day which is a pace I'd hate to keep even when I was in service and in shape. I'd consider PCs given their heroic nature and powers to equal or exceed that.

There's a table in the PHB that breaks it all down for you
http://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm

But basically, 1 mile = 5280 ft ~ 1.6 km

Strange as it is, in the D&D universe 1 mile is 6000 ft.

The table shows that an unencumbered human goes 3 miles an hour.
That is 3 miles in 60 minutes.
That is 1 mile in 20 minutes.

The table also shows us that this human goes 300ft a minute.

300ft/min. x 20 min = 6000 ft.


Odd eh?
