What airport has the longest walk between gates?

Last night I flew CVG-PHL-DCA. In Philadelphia, my plane deboarded at gate F34. I had 22 minutes to hike down to A20. With no waiting, I caught a shuttle bus to C terminal and continued my walk to A20. I got there with 1 minute to spare. A few minutes before I got to A terminal, they were paging my name over the PA reminding me politely that I better move faster.

That was the longest walk I ever experienced between two planes. I'm sure it was at least a mile.
