If you like metric, a good approximation is also 1 calorie per kilometer and kilogram of body weight. So a 80kg person running a 10k will approx. burn 800 calories.
Only an approximation but seems to roughly fit many "measurements" by smart watches for both males and females of different weight ranges.
That’s only true for people who are both light and efficient runners.
A better rule of thumb, at least for men, is 1kCal/hour for zone 2 or light zone 3 training.
