It of course depends on the sites you wish to visit and the route you take (i.e. where you start and finish), but to do a generalized circle around the major mall landmarks (Lincoln Memorial, White House gate, Capitol Building and Monument), finishing up where you started, you're looking at about 6 miles of walking to complete the circle. My trip was 7.5 miles of walking, but I also walked across the bridge to Arlington Cemetery in addition to the above.
