Here the person is talking about a single distance so "is" will be used instead of "are".
Here I explain with an example.
We say twenty munites are remaining not is remaining.
Another example is;
We say "all is well" we use a single verb after indefinite pronoun because we are taking " all as a whole.

When definite numerical adjective is added before some nouns like mile, thousand, dozen, they take singular form. That's why we used 'is'.
