5K runner

Three-mile race participant

A 5K runner is someone who runs five-kilometer races—about 3.1 miles.

The 5K is the most popular road race distance, attracting everyone from beginners to elite competitors.

The term can describe habitual participants or someone's identity as a runner: I'm not a marathoner, just a 5K runner.
