I’m pretty sure I could also get stuck in a loop in a forest if the circular trail is 370m in circumference, let alone the human-sized equivalent of it (which, assuming a human walks at 3 mph, would be 7.5 miles or 12 kilometers)

Alternatively - could an ant run a meter in 25 seconds? Seems reasonable.
A quick Google search shows some can go upwards of 800mm/sec but they’re outliers. https://www.sciencealert.com/world-s-fastest-ants-clock-855-...
Btw - I appreciate that you took the time to check the numbers yourself. Very few people do the math on their own first.
