Harold Haadrada did not become King of England. (CORRECTION!) He was killed by the legitimate King of England, Harold Godwinson (Harold I), at Stamford Bridge.

How long did it take for Harold to march to the battle?
Harold left the vicinity of York on or about September 26 or 27, pressed to meet William's invading force some distance to the south, and he arrived in the vicinity of Hastings, to battle William, on or about October 13 or 14; so it seems the best answer is that it took Harold 17 days to march to the battle.
