Although I guess ya could round it up to 5300 feet. But with calculators and such why would you? I would have to agree with Gene Godbold, though, it doesn’t really seem feasible unless you have tons of space. Just sayin’.

At 87.1 You get 61.768 feet for 5,380′ or 1 mile

After a little math you’ll realize that modeling exact distance to scale really isn’t feasible.
