5K race
Popular running distance
A 5K race is a running event covering five kilometers, or about 3.1 miles.
It's the most popular distance for organized road races, attracting everyone from competitive runners to casual joggers to first-timers: I signed up for a charity 5K race this weekend.
The distance is challenging enough to require training but accessible enough for beginners.
