A klick is military slang for a kilometer. For instance, you can say you ran two klicks in the morning or the camp is a klick away. It was popularized by soldiers during the Vietnam War but its existence predates that.

A click in military lingo is one kilometer, which is equal to about 0.621371192 mile. Click is just a slang-like shortening of kilometer.
