5K races
Brief road events
5K races are running events covering five kilometers—about 3.1 miles.
The distance is popular for both competitive runners and casual participants because it's challenging enough to feel like an accomplishment but accessible to beginners: I'm training for my first 5K.
Many 5Ks support charitable causes, drawing participants who walk as much as run.
