"Estimating the Duration of a Martian Circumnavigation on Foot"

TL;DR Summary
Walking all the way around Mars would take a long time, roughly 174 sols or about 40% of a Martian year, assuming a continuous walking speed of 3.1 mph. However, this calculation does not account for potential obstacles such as rough terrain. While it's highly unlikely that humans will walk around the entire Red Planet anytime soon due to logistical challenges, sending astronauts to the surface still has many advantages over rovers, including the ability to find solutions to problems that may arise.
