5K

Fun run distance

5K refers to a distance of five kilometers (about 3.1 miles), most commonly in the context of running races.

The 5K is a popular entry-level race distance: I'm training for my first 5K.

The term also appears as shorthand for five thousand of anything, especially dollars: They offered me 5K for the car.
