About 1.5 lb per linear foot.

A Circular Mil is the area of a circle with a diameter of 1/1000 of an inch. The first "M" actually stands for 1000, and "MCM" is interchangeable with "kCM." 500 MCM has an cross-sectional area of 253.4 sq mm (2.534 sqcm, a density of 8.96 g/cc. 1 foot is 30 cm. 2.534*8.96*30 = 692 g = 1.52 lb.

Of course if you're using 500MCM cable you're probably installing it in a 3-phase system, with possibly a full-size neutral, so for total runs, you may have a 3-4 multiplier for a total weight of a single set run.
